Ingredients
- Sweet potato150 g
Grated raw. It cooks through in the pan if the pancakes are thin. Raw, peeled weight.
- Egg2 large (110 g)
- Plain flour40 g
- Baking powderHalf a teaspoon
- Ground cinnamonA pinch
- Bacon medallions70 g
Weighed raw. Back bacon with the fat on is about double.
- Maple syrup1 tsp, about 7 g
- Olive oil spray4 sprays, about 1 g
Counted at a quarter of a gram per spray, which is what the nozzle on most bottles delivers. Four sprays is 9 kcal.
- SaltA pinch
Method
Grate the sweet potato coarsely and squeeze it in a tea towel to get the water out.
Mix it with the eggs, flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt to a thick batter.
Fry small, thin pancakes in a sprayed pan over medium heat for three minutes a side. They need longer than a flour pancake because the potato has to cook.
Fry the medallions in the same pan until the edges brown, and serve with the syrup.
Worth knowing
- Squeeze the sweet potato hard. Wet batter steams instead of frying and the pancakes stay pale and floppy.
- A teaspoon of maple syrup is 7 g. The pour from the bottle is a tablespoon and three times that. It is the only sweet thing on the plate, so measure it.
