Yam Cakes

Prep. Time: An hour to bake the yams (this can be done the day before), 20 min. to prepare the cakes

Cook Time: about 15 min.

Makes 8 servings.

1 lb. fresh cooked yams, peeled and mashed
2 eggs, well beaten
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 cup Sorrell Ridge Peach, Apricot or Strawberry
Dash of nutmeg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Non-stick vegetable spray
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Mash the cooked and peeled yams in a large bowl. Add all other ingredients and mix well. Form the yam mixture into eight pancake-like shapes. Spray a large griddle or skillet with non-stick vegetable spray and spray your spatula as well. Place the cakes on the hot griddle and turn when the edges become dry and the bottom turns a golden brown. Brown the other side and remove from griddle. This should take about 5 minutes for a cake. It's a lot like cooking pancakes so the 15 minute cooking time will vary depending on the size of your griddle, and how many cakes you can fit on the griddle at one time. It may take only a few minutes or more. Serve your yam cakes warm with apple sauce or additional Sorrell Ridge. The cakes make a wonderful side dish for chicken, turkey and pork dishes.

Makes 8 cakes.
