Sneaky Chef

I made the kids pancakes today using the Sneaky Chef Golden Pancake recipe. The pancakes have sweet potato and carrots pureed in them and they were very yummy. The kids didn't notice they had anything unusual in them. I really liked them too, the batter was very nice. Here is Phoebe enjoying hers.


Here's the recipe for the Puree:

RECIPE INGREDIENTS:
3 medium to large carrots, peeled and sliced thick 1 medium sweet potato or yam, peeled and chopped
2 to 4 tablespoons of water
1. Boil the carrots in a medium-size pot for about 5 minutes. Add the sweet potato and simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes. 2. Drain the veggies, then puree them in a food processor with 2 tablespoons of water. If necessary, add more water, a tablespoon at a time, blending until smooth. Makes 2 1/3 cups.


And here's the recipe for the Golden Pancakes:

RECIPE INGREDIENTS:
2 cups flour
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups buttermilk (or more)
3/4 cup Orange Puree
2 eggs
3 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled slightly
1. Whisk together the dry ingredients in a medium-size bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, Orange Puree, eggs, and melted butter. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, then pour in the buttermilk mixture. Whisk gently until just combined. If the batter is too thick, add another 2 or more tablespoons of buttermilk. 2. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Grease the hot skillet, then pour batter onto the skillet 1/4 cup at a time, spreading each cupful to about 4 1/2 inches in diameter with the back of a spoon. Cook the pancakes until bubbles form on the surface, about 2 minutes, then flip them and cook until golden, about 2 minutes more. Makes 16 pancakes.
