Ingredients
  • 2 sweet potatoes (1 cup)
  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • ¼ tsp baking powder
  • ½ cup butter

  3. In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Add the butter to the dry mixture and use a wooden spoon to combine. Mix until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
  5. 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.
  6. Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the dough to about ¼-inch thickness.
  7. Use a cookie cutter or knife to cut the dough into your desired shapes (e.g., circles, squares, or stars).
  8. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
  9. Arrange the shaped pieces on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet.
  10. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden and slightly crisp.

  11. 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.
