Practical Cooking Tips
- Preheat your waffle iron properly to ensure crispy edges and even cooking.
- If you prefer a fluffier waffle, gently fold in some beaten egg whites before cooking.
Directions
Lightly heat up your waffle iron according to the instructions it came with. In a bowl, mix together the sweet potato, milk, egg, and melted butter until everything is combined. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and salt. Pour the sweet potato mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined—don’t overmix. Scoop the batter onto your preheated waffle iron and cook until the waffles turn golden brown and crispy, usually about 3 minutes. While the waffles cook, combine the maple syrup, cranberry sauce, and a little cinnamon in a small saucepan. Warm it over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until everything is heated through and blended nicely, about 5 to 10 minutes. Drizzle the warm syrup over your waffles and enjoy!
