Stack of golden sweet potato flour pancakes drizzled with Ustawi pure Kenyan honey

These pancakes use Ustawi biofortified sweet potato flour, which is already precooked, so the batter comes together in one bowl. The flour brings a natural sweetness and a golden colour, which means you need less sugar than a standard pancake recipe.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Ustawi sweet potato flour
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose or whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup milk (or water)
  • 1 tablespoon oil, plus extra for the pan
  • Ustawi pure Kenyan honey, to serve

Method

  1. Whisk the sweet potato flour, plain flour, baking powder and salt together in a large bowl.

  2. In a second bowl, beat the egg with the milk and oil.

  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir until just combined. A few small lumps are fine — over-mixing makes the pancakes tough.

  4. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes. Sweet potato flour absorbs liquid quickly, so it will thicken as it sits. Loosen with a splash of milk if needed.

  5. Heat a lightly oiled non-stick pan over medium heat. Pour in about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake.

  6. Cook for 2–3 minutes until bubbles appear on the surface, then flip and cook for a further 1–2 minutes until golden.

  7. Serve warm with a drizzle of Ustawi pure Kenyan honey.
