Nothing says warm and hearty like a harvest breakfast. The author and Food Network star shares a handful of her autumn favorites.

Sweet Stack Pancakes
Sandra Lee, Semi-Homemade

Makes about 14 pancakes

Preheat a griddle or large nonstick skillet over medium heat. In a large bowl, stir together 2 cups all-purpose baking mix, Bisquick, 1 to 1 1⁄2 cups buttermilk (use more for thinner batter), 1 cup mashed sweet potatoes, 2 large eggs, and 1⁄8 teaspoon ground cinnamon until well combined.

Spoon 1⁄4 cup batter for each pancake onto a hot griddle; turn pancakes when the tops are covered with bubbles and the edges look cooked. Serve with a pat of butter and warm maple syrup.
