Sweet Potato Puffs

I feel its been so many ages I haven’t been visited my blog due to my final exams and loads of work in office. Finally got a chance today to explore other blogs where I found that I have been given “Yummy Blog Award” by one of my dear friend “Esculent Cuisine”…Thanks KC for passing this award to me.

On this occasion I felt like having something sweet, but what should I make….Some of my most creative moments in the kitchen are spent reinterpreting them with the addition of whatever is on hand in the pantry into new meals……..looked around the whole pantry and found those beautiful sweet potatoes……These roots are most frequently boiled, fried, or baked….But this time I am going to make sweet potato puffs….you guys must be thinking I am crazy, but the result was so yummy…you guys should definately try this recipe…

Here is the recipe:
strong>Ingredients:
1 Packet Puff Pastry Sheets(I got this from Micheals store – Local store in naperville)
2 Sweet Potatoes
1/4 stick butter
3 tbsp Sugar
4 cups water

strong>Method:
First take the puff pastry sheets from the freezer and keep them outside. (It should be out for 40 minutes approximately before using. So first keep them out and in the mean while start making mashed sweet potatoes. )
Peel the skin of Sweet potatoes and Clean them and chop them into very small pieces.Keep the chopped Sweet potato pieces.Take a pot,add 4 cups of water, sweet potatoes and sugar,cover it and cook till they are done.Stir occasionally after they are done add butter and mash it. cook for a while and turn off the heat.
Now take the puffs and cut nicely wherever there is a folding. You will 6 sheets from one packet. Again cut each sheet into half. Then you will get 12 pieces from one full packet.
Take a sheet and test it. The sheets should not be hard. It should be soft and foldable. Then it is right to use. Pre-heat the oven at bake and 350 degree.
Now take full spoon of the sweet potato and place it on the sheet.
In the same manner stuff the sweet potato into the puffs.
Place the stuffed puffs in an aluminum foil or cake pan or persulin plate. Anything is fine.
When the oven is pre-heated, keep the plates in the oven carefully.
Keep the thicker one on the bottom grill of the oven and keep the aluminum foil on the top of grill.
Bake it for 30-35 minutes till the upper layer of the puffs turn to brown color and crispy.
Turn off the oven switches, keep the oven open and wait for 10 minutes

Take the plates carefully from the oven.Wait for 5 more minutes.
Have them or serve them with Vanilla Icecream.Look the layers of the puff.
Enjoy the tasty sweet potato puffs……………it was really good treat
