Instructions

1. 1
   Mise en place

   Gather measured ingredients, a saucepan with lid, bowl, fork, whisk, skillet, spatula, measuring spoons, and kitchen scale. · 3 min

   What to look for: All ingredients are measured and tools are within reach.

2. 2
   Steam sweet potato

   Place sweet potato and 60 ml water in the saucepan, cover, and simmer until the pieces crush easily with a fork. · 12 min

   What to look for: The sweet potato looks soft and the water is mostly absorbed.

3. 3
   Mash the base

   Mash the hot sweet potato in the bowl until smooth, then let it cool briefly so the eggs do not scramble. · 4 min

   What to look for: The mash is smooth, thick, and no longer steaming hard.

4. 4
   Mix pancake batter

   Whisk in eggs, protein powder, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, and 20 ml water until a thick spoonable batter forms. · 4 min

   What to look for: The batter is smooth enough to mound softly from a spoon.

5. 5
   Heat the skillet

   Melt half the butter in the skillet over medium heat until it foams lightly and coats the surface. · 2 min

   What to look for: The butter is foamy but not browned.

6. 6
   Cook first side

   Spoon 4 small pancakes into the skillet and cook until edges set and small bubbles appear across the tops. · 4 min

   What to look for: The edges look matte and the undersides are golden.

7. 7
   Flip and finish

   Flip the pancakes gently and cook the second side until firm in the center, then repeat with remaining butter and batter. · 5 min

   What to look for: Both sides are golden and the centers spring back softly.

8. 8
   Serve warm

   Serve the pancakes warm while tender, stacking them gently so the moist sweet potato centers stay intact. · 1 min

   What to look for: The pancakes are warm, soft, and lightly puffed.
