Gaslight Inn's Sweet Potato Griddle Cakes with Rum Butter Drizzle
Steps:
- 1 cup mashed cooked sweet potatoes
2 cups all purpose flour
1 egg well beaten
1 ½ cup buttermilk
¼ cup dark molasses
¼ cup melted butter
2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon salt
- Sift dry ingredients together. In a separate bowl mix wet ingredients. Combine into one bowl slowly. Add a bit more buttermilk or water if batter seems too thick, as sweet potatoes can vary in consistency!
Drop about ½ cup of batter onto a medium-hot buttered griddle. Flip when bubbles appear around the cakes and the edges begin to pull away from the pan.
Keep warm in a 200 degree oven as needed. Makes 10-12 home-size cakes. - Rum Butter Drizzle
