Buttermilk Sweet Potato Pancakes With Coconut Whipped Cream Food

BUTTERMILK SWEET POTATO PANCAKES WITH COCONUT WHIPPED CREAM

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the sweet potatoes, 1 cup of the buttermilk, egg and vanilla extract. Whisk in the melted butter, making sure to whisk constantly so you don't cook the egg if it's still warm.
• In a smaller bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, soda, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and salt. Stir the dry ingredients into the pumpkin mixture until just combined, then stir in the remaining buttermilk until no lumps remain.
• Heat a large skillet or electric griddle over medium heat and butter it if desired. Add the pancake batter to the skillet 1/4 cup at a time, slightly smoothing it out if needed. Cook until bubbles appear on the tops of the batter rounds (about 2 minutes or so) and then flip, cooking for another minute or two. Remove and repeat with remaining batter. Serve immediately with maple syrup, toasted coconut and the coconut whipped cream.

BUTTERMILK MASHED SWEET POTATOES (RACHAEL RAY)

Steps:

• Wash and peel the sweet potatoes, then cut them into 1 1/2-2-inch chunks. Place them into a large pot and cover them with cold water (they should be covered by two or so inches of water so that they cook evenly). Place the pot on the stove, add some salt and turn the heat on high to bring to a boil.
• Once boiling, cook the potatoes for about 8 minutes, until they are tender but not falling apart. Drain the potatoes thoroughly, then pop them back into the pot and place them over medium heat to dry them out a bit. Add the buttermilk, pepper and some salt, to taste.
• Using a potato masher, mash up the sweet potatoes until smooth add syrup and serve them.
