Ingredients:


For the Pancakes:

  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and grated
  • 1 cup tapioca flour
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup grated queijo coalho or halloumi cheese
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil for frying

For the Açai Yogurt:

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup açai puree
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest

For Garnish:

  • Fresh berries (optional)
  • Mint leaves (optional)

Cooking Instructions


  1. Prepare the Açai Yogurt:

    • In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, açai puree, honey, and lime zest. Stir until well mixed. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  2. Make the Pancake Batter:

    • In a large bowl, combine grated sweet potatoes, tapioca flour, all-purpose flour, grated cheese, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix until combined.
    • In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and melted butter. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
  3. Cook the Pancakes:

    • Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Scoop about 1/4 cup of the batter into the skillet for each pancake, flattening slightly with the back of a spoon.
    • Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Adjust the heat as necessary to avoid burning.
  4. Serve:

    • Serve the warm pancakes with a generous dollop of açai yogurt on top. Garnish with fresh berries and mint leaves, if desired.
