Batat (Sweet Potato) Cakes

500 g sweet potato

400 g wheat flour

1 tsp salt

100 g desiccated coconut

75 g cane sugar

Rapeseed oil

The sweet potatoes (unpeeled) are boiled in water salted with 1/2 tsp salt, until tender. To shorten the boiling time, you can chop the sweet potatoes into smaller pieces.

Pour the water away, peel the sweet potatoes and throw the peel out.

Mash the sweet potatoes with a knife.

To create the filling of the cakes, the sugar and desiccated coconut are mixed together

The dough:

1. To the mashed sweet potatoes, add 1/2 tsp salt and add wheat flour, until a dough is formed while mixing.

2. The dough is rolled out into a 2 mm thick layer. Use a cup or glass to create round dough elements.

3. 1 tsp of filling is placed in the middle of each element.

4. Fold the dough over the filling to create a "half-moon". Seal the folded dough element with your fingers. Finish off the sealing by creating a striped pattern with a fork.
