Sweet Potato Pancakes with Caramel Sauce
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 cup canned sweet potatoes, mashed
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 jar (12 ounces) hot caramel ice cream topping, warmed
3/4 cup coarsely chopped unsalted cashews, toasted
Whipped butter, optional
In a small bowl, combine the first eight ingredients. In another bowl, whisk the egg, milk, sweet potatoes and melted butter. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened.
