Ingredients
Instructions
Boil the sweet potatoes in water until tender.
Drain, peel it and mash them into a smooth consistency. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the butter to the dry mixture and use a wooden spoon to combine. Mix until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
- Add the mashed sweet potatoes to the mixture and knead gently. Gradually add milk, a little at a time, to form a soft and pliable dough. Do not overmix.
- Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the dough to about ¼-inch thickness.
- Use a cookie cutter or knife to cut the dough into your desired shapes (e.g., circles, squares, or stars).
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Arrange the shaped pieces on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until golden and slightly crisp.
Enjoy warm or at room temperature as a delightful tea-time snack. These bites pair well with tea, coffee, or a refreshing beverage of your choice.
