Can I use canned sweet potato puree instead of fresh?

Absolutely! Just make sure it's plain puree, not the pie filling kind. Drain any excess liquid and use the same amount. Though I'll admit - roasted fresh sweet potatoes give the best flavor.

How do I make my pancakes extra fluffy?

Two tricks: First, don't overmix the batter - lumps are good! Second, let it rest 5 minutes before cooking. The baking powder needs time to work its magic.

My batter seems too thick - what should I do?

No worries! Sweet potatoes vary in moisture. Just add milk a tablespoon at a time until it's pourable but still thick - like a slow-moving lava consistency.

Can I make the batter ahead?

For best results, cook right away. But if you must, refrigerate for up to 2 hours max. The baking powder starts losing its oomph after that.
