Recipe
Ingredients
- 1½ cups flour
- 2½ tablespoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 medium sweetpotato
- ¼ cup milk
- Coarse salt
- Sesame seeds
- Cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350º F.
- Sift flour, baking powder and salt together into a large bowl.
- Add butter and by hand work it into the flour mixture until it becomes a coarse mealy texture.
- Cook sweetpotato in boiling water until softened. Cool, remove skin and purée with milk to make a smooth mixture.
- Beat 1 cup of the sweetpotato purée into flour and then turn out onto a lightly floured surface.
- Knead well about 80 turns. Divide dough into 4 pieces and roll each very thin. Cut into rounds or squares; sprinkle with salt, sesame seeds and a little cayenne, if desired.
