These pancakes are a great way to use leftover baked sweet potatoes.

Instructions

- In a medium bowl, whisk together buttermilk, sweet potato, and eggs.
- Make a well in center of flour mixture; add buttermilk mixture. Stir just until combined. (Mixture will be thick and slightly lumpy.) Fold in chopped pecans.
- Spray a large griddle or nonstick skillet with cooking spray, and heat over medium heat. Drop batter by ⅓ cupfuls onto hot griddle or into hot skillet.
