Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the sweet potatoes by peeling and chopping them into chunks, then boil in water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and mash until smooth.
  2. Combine the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl: whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, then add the milk and melted butter. Combine until smoothly mixed.
  4. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  5. Heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly grease. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake and cook until bubbles form, about 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook until golden.
  6. Serve warm, topping with butter, syrup, or fresh fruits.
