Orange pancakes?

[LovesDoomBuggies]

I had these fabulous pancakes at a cafe about a month ago, and they were very orangey in color and really sweet and fluffy and just wonderful
The only thing I can think of that would make sense and would make them orange is sweet potatoes, but all of the sweet potato pancake recipes I find aren't for breakfast- they're for crepes and things like that, and they're crispy.

So can anyone think of what else they might be? Or does anyone have a not-crispy recipe?

How about pumpkin? I don't know if they would be as orange as you are thinking, but I have had breakfast pancakes with canned pumpkin and cinnimon added to the batter. Just a thought...

 

[LovesDoomBuggies]

Hmm. That's a thought. They didn't taste very pumpkin-y though... but it's worth a shot! We're coming up on fall anyway.

Sweet Potato Pancakes With Pecan Honey Butter

Food historians tell us that the pancake is one of mankind's oldest forms of bread.

So is it any wonder it is a breakfast favorite in many cuisines?

This week's recipe request is from the kitchen at Boatwright's at Disney's Port Orleans Resort. Sweet Potato Pancakes With Pecan Honey Butter captures all the seasonal flavors from the earthiness of the spuds to the nutty topping.

Yield: 12-15 pancakes.

Ingredients:


Pancakes:
1 1/4 cups brown sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1 1/2 cups milk
3 each eggs
6 Tblsp vegetable oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
12-oz. can sweet potato (canned or frozen), mashed

Pecan honey butter:
1 stick butter (at room temperature)
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup toasted pecans



Instructions:
1. To make pecan honey butter, combine butter, honey and toasted pecans. Set aside.

2. To make the pancakes, combine dry ingredients in a mixing bowl. Stir in milk and beaten eggs. Add oil and vanilla. Beat until smooth. Fold in the mashed sweet potatoes (should result in a lumpy texture).

3. In a small nonstick frying pan, heat 1 teaspoon vegetable oil over medium heat. Pour in batter to desired size. Cook until dark brown (sweet potato pancakes take a little longer to cook than regular pancakes because of the density of the sweet potatoes).

4. Serve pancakes warm with pecan honey butter.

It seems strange to me that they would put anything too exotic in a pancake without labeling it as something special. We have a local place that uses cornmeal in their pancakes and they are very good but a strange orangy/yellow color.

 

[LovesDoomBuggies]

That's true... you think they would bill them as sweet potato pancakes or something.

Cornmeal? I'll have to do a search on cornmeal pancakes and see what comes up.

I just wanted to share that my husband made the pancakes from the recipe posted in this thread and they were GREAT! We used canned Yams (that was all we could find at the store).

The pancakes were oh so fluffy and had an "fall" flavor to them without being overpowering.

YUM!

Dial-up stinks! There was only one response when I hit "Post Reply". Sorry for the repetition!

And it seems there was something wrong with the database! I just noticed the dates & times on everyone else's replies! Too weird!

I made the orlando sentinel ones this morning, minus the honey butter. Very good! I kept eating the batter
