Trick for Fluffy Pancakes & Waffles

For very light and tender pancakes or waffles, separate the egg and beat the white until stiff. Stir the yolk and other liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients, then fold in the beaten egg white. —Jonelle W., Trenton, Michigan

Canned sweet potatoes are full of sugar. I microwaved a large, pealed sweet potato, mashed it and added as usual. 1 tsp Penzy's Apple Pie Spice and 1/4tps Penzy's Crystalized Ginger makes them zing!

Since we don't have a waffle iron, I made these as pancakes. The flavor of these was great and the nut topping really adds something special.

I made this over the weekend, and it was incredible! My kids had no clue there were sweet potatoes in it.
