Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 cup cooked sweet potato mashed
  • 4 large eggs
  • 12 ounces buttermilk
  • 6 tablespoons butter (melted)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 2 1/4 cups flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 12 oz buttermilk
  • 1 pound chicken tenders (approx 12 pieces)
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika (optional)
  • 2 cups vegetable oil for frying chicken
  • 1/4 cup pecans (chopped)
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 200 degrees to hold waffles and chicken
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine dry ingredients.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together sweet potatoes, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla until combined. Add in milk and continue to mix until well blended.
  • Stir sweet-potato mixture into flour mixture until combined. It's okay for it to have some lumps and bits of sweet potato.
  • Place a wire rack on a baking pan and set in the oven.
  • Heat waffle iron to medium-high and lightly brush grids with melted butter.
  • Ladle about 1/2 cup batter into the center of iron (grids should be full but not overflowing), close, and cook until iron stops steaming and waffles are golden brown, about 4 minutes (or make according to your manufacturer's instructions).
  • Transfer waffles to wire rack in oven to keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter.
