Poke holes in 2 sweet potatoes and roast at 400° for about an hour and 15 minutes.

Remove the skin from the cooked sweet potatoes and place them into a large bowl.

Mash the sweet potatoes with a fork or potato masher.

Measure out 1 and 1/2 cups of mashed sweet potato.

Crack 2 eggs into the mashed sweet potato.

Pour in 3/4 cup of whole milk, 1 tsp of vanilla extract, and 4 tbsp of melted unsalted butter.

Mix the wet ingredients together well.

In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 tsp of baking powder, 2 tbsp of white sugar, 3/4 tsp of salt, 1/2 tsp of cinnamon, and 1/8 tsp of freshly grated nutmeg.

Carefully fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients with a rubber spatula until there are no more dry spots of flour.

Adjust the batter consistency by adding an additional 2 tbsp of milk if too thick.

In a large skillet on medium heat, drop in large spoonfuls of the batter and slightly flatten them with the back of a spoon.

Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until browned on the bottom and the top looks dry, then flip and cook for about 2 minutes on the second side.

Remove the pancakes to a plate and continue cooking the remaining batter.
