I love love love sweet potato if you don’t know yet! Best to eat just like that after being steamed, or as a sweetened desserts with sago, or as fries, you name it. But this time I wanted to do something else with them. …Donuts!!…
It’s so hard to find these kind of donuts here nowadays. I mean, it’s easier to make compared to the plain donuts coated with fine sugar. Yup you heard it right! This sweet potato donuts are much more easier to make than the plain donuts; no eggs, no yeast and no butter needed! If you never taste or make this before and wish to try it out, there’s a recipe below. Trust me, it’s easy and yummy!
Ingredients:
- 500gm of sweet potato
- 1 cup of flour
- 1 tablespoon of rice flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons of soda bicarbonate
- 3 tablespoons of brown sugar
- 1 cup of water
How to make it:
- Peel the skin of sweet potato, sliced, and boil until soften then mash it.
- Mix mashed potato with the flour, rice flour and soda bicarbonate. Knead until mix well.
- Rest the dough for about 10 minutes.
- Scoop about 40g of the dough and roll on your palm to make a small ball. Shape it round and dig a hole in the middle until you have a nice donut shape.
- Heat deep frying oil and fry until slightly brown. Drain and put aside.
- For coating: in a wok, pour in water and brown sugar. Cook until the mixture are fragrant and thicker. Deep in all the donuts and coat it well until all covered with the brown sugar.
- And…that’s it! They’re ready to serve!
I’m sure there’s a lot more different version for this sweet potato donuts can be found but you can say this is my version. I used brown sugar instead of white or palm sugar but you can use whatever you like.
Didn’t I told ya it’s easy? And it’s yummy? Yesss! Actually it’s my first time in making these donuts andddd it’s a success! Back in my hometown, my mom always brought these from the Sunday market and I really love it. But now, as I mentioned earlier it is kind of hard to find these anymore. Thank goodness it’s actually easy to make! So now, feel free to try it and don’t forget to share whether you like it or not. ๐
Now I got some cleaning to do from the fun mess just now. Until my next post!
