HAPPY BLACK FRIDAY! Now what to do with all those Thanksgiving leftovers…

I mean you can never go wrong with the traditional turkey, stuffing, cranberry sandwich. Usually anything that you can fit in between two pieces of bread is almost always acceptable, am I right?

Well – if you have leftover sweet potatoes, this one’s for you! Or if you have pumpkin or yams that could also be delish. Substitutions are always welcomed and allowed ;)

makes 2 servings

for the pancakes:
1 cup Bisquick (I love this stuff, definitely a staple in our house!)
1/2 cup milk (I used 2%)
3/4 cup mashed sweet potato
1 egg
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon ginger
1 teaspoon all-spice
1 tablespoon sugar
pinch of salt
3-4 tablespoons butter

for the syrup:
1 tablespoon butter
3/4 cup maple syrup
2 tablespoons-ish bourbon (just taste as you go)
pinch of salt
8 strips of bacon, cooked & crumbled

1. Combine all the ingredients for the pancakes in a mixing bowl, the batter should be slightly thicker than your average pancake batter, don’t worry, this is good :) However, you can always add more milk if you prefer a thinner pancake
2. Melt a tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium high heat and start droppin’ pancakes whatever size you want! Let them cook around 1-2 minutes on each side. Anytime you add a new group of pancakes to the skillet, add another pad of butter.
3. Lastly, make the syrup by melting butter in small sauce pan over medium heat, mix in syrup, bourbon and salt. Serve warm.
