Gone are the days when we stuck to boring food or were afraid to try our hands at new recipes. We say no to eating the same kind of meal in the same way over and over again. No, we will experiment until we get new and lovely recipes.
Pancakes are quite versatile and can be made from many ingredients. One of such is yam. If you have half a tuber of yam at home and do not want to fry it or make the usual boiled yam, then keep reading on how to make yam pancakes.
Ingredients
- Boiled Yam
- Chopped mixed veg – onions, chilies, spring onions, bell peppers etc
- 2 eggs – or more depending on how many yams you have
- Salt
- Seasoning cubes – optional
- Vegetable oil
Preparation
- Boil your yam as normal
- Use a potato masher or a food processor to turn it into a mash
- Add the chopped vegetables. (onions, bell pepper, ata rodo (scotch bonnet/habanero pepper) and spring onions to make it colourful)
- Add the eggs (Quantity depends on the amount of yam you have)
- The batter must be thick. If it is too watery, the pancake will break apart when you try to flip it, and it may spill into a mess a sandwich toaster.
- Once it is thick and the consistency is right, season with salt and/or seasoning cubes.
- Heat up a non-stick or in this case a cast iron pan with a little oil as you would a regular pancake. Scoop on the batter and use the back of the spoon to spread it out into a wider circle.
- Cook this on medium heat to allow the pancakes to cook properly on one side without burning, so you can flip it over to cook the other side without breaking the pancake.
- When both sides have browned, take it out of the pan, and repeat the process.
