Sweet Potatoes Candies
Ingredients
3 pounds of Sweet potato
1 liter of Water
4 ½ pounds of Sugar
1 pound of Icing sugar
½ pound of Soft flour
½ cup of Water
1 pinch of Salt
Preparation
Step 1 : To prepare these candies, start by washing and peeling the sweet potatoes, then pass them through a sieve to obtain a fine dough.
Step 2 : Next, mix the sugar with water in a pot over heat, and add the sweet potato dough.
Step 3 : Once all the water has evaporated, transfer the mixture to a container and let it cool.
Step 4 : To make the bases or templates, combine the flour with water and salt, kneading until you get a uniform dough.
Step 5 : It is recommended to preheat the oven to 400°F before rolling out the dough with a rolling pin, cutting small circles, and placing them on a baking sheet.
Step 6 : Then, bake at 350°F until golden, approximately 20 minutes.
Step 7 : After removing the bases from the oven and letting them cool, mold balls of the sweet potato paste into a volcano shape on each base.
Step 8 : Mix the icing sugar with a few drops of water and pour over the candies.
Step 9 : Finally, add a little red coloring on top to simulate a volcano eruption.
Step 10 : Let it sit until the coating hardens, and it will be ready to enjoy.
