Step 1

If you don’t have any prepared, steam cubes of sweet potato, allow to cool and mash roughly with a fork.

Step 2

Place sweet potato, eggs, flour, baking powder, salt and milk in a food processor or blender. Process to combine into a thick, smooth batter. The batter should be very thick, so it holds together well in the pan when cooking.

Step 3

Add a teaspoon of oil to a non-stick pan and heat to a low-moderate heat (not too hot or the pikelets will burn). Scoop in about 2 tablespoons of the batter and spread to form a small pikelet just under 1cm thick. Cook for 2 minutes and then flip and cook for another minute, or until golden brown on both sides.

Step 4

Repeat with remaining batter.

Step 5

Serve warm or cold with toppings of choice.
