3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 jar (12 ounces) hot caramel ice cream topping, warmed

1. 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.
