Yam Blinis With Brown Sugar-Ginger Sauce

• 1 teaspoon white sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon yeast
• 1 cup low-fat milk, warmed
• 1 yam
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• cooking spray
• Brown Sugar-Ginger Sauce:
• 1/2 cup milk
• 3 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon grated ginger
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch

1. Dissolve white sugar and yeast in warmed milk. Let stand until foamy, about 10 minutes.
2. Pierce yam in several places in a fork. Cook in the microwave until soft, about 7 minutes. Mash with a fork on a small plate.
3. Whisk egg and vanilla extract together in a small bowl.
4. Sift whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt together in a large bowl. Add milk mixture, mashed yam, and egg mixture; stir until batter is the consistency of sour cream.
5. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; grease with cooking spray. Drop 1/4 cup batter onto the skillet; cook until edges are dry, 30 to 40 seconds. Flip and cook until browned on the other side, about 30 seconds more. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining batter, greasing skillet between batches.
6. Combine 1/2 cup milk, 3 tablespoons brown sugar, ginger, and cornstarch in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until smooth and thick, 3 to 5 minutes. Pour over blinis.
