Make buttermilk by mixing 1 cup of milk with 1 tablespoon of vinegar and set aside.

Use 1/2 cup of mashed sweet potato, which is about 1/2 of a large sweet potato.

Mix dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and brown sugar in a bowl and whisk until combined.

In another bowl, add mashed sweet potato, melted butter, vanilla, 1 egg, and the prepared buttermilk, then mix together.

Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just incorporated, being careful not to over mix.

Let the batter sit for 10 minutes.

Preheat a pan to medium-low (between 3 and 4) and grease with butter.

Pour batter into the pan, using a spoon to help spread it out, and cook for 1 minute and 45 seconds on each side without disturbing.

Serve warm with butter, maple syrup, and pecans.
