Instructions
Make the Dough

Add flour to reduce the moisture of the dough.1 cup All Purpose Flour, 1/4 cup Plant-Based Butter, 3-4 tbsp Ice Cold Water, 1 tbsp Maple Syrup, 1/2 tsp Salt
- Transfer the dough onto a floured flat surface or cutting board and knead the dough until for 3-5 minutes.
- Cut the dough into 4 parts and form them into ball shapes.
- Flatten the dough ball with your hands or rolling pin to make the dough 1/4 inch thick.
- Use a 5-6 inch diameter cylinder, bowl, or cup and press the rim into the dough to make a circle flat dough. Reuse the excess dough to form another circle flat dough.
- Repeat this process until all of the dough has been formed.
- place each piece of dough on parchment paper and place in the refrigerator to chill.
Make the Filling
- In a blender or food processor, add the yams, coconut milk, light brown sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg, ground cloves, and ground ginger.1 can Yams, 1/2 cup Canned Coconut Milk, 1 cup Light Brown Sugar, 1/4 cup Cornstarch, 1 tsp Vanilla Extract, 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon, 1/2 tsp Salt, 1/2 tsp Nutmeg, 1/4 tsp Ground Cloves, 1/4 tsp Ground Ginger
- Blend the ingredients until they are smooth or your desired texture.
Make the Pies
- Take the dough out of the refrigerator.
- On each dough, add 1 teaspoon of the sweet potato puree in the center, leaving at least 1/2 inch perimeter clear.
- Take one side of the dough and fold it over to the other side of the dough to form the pie. Use your fingers or a fork to press down on the edges of the dough to seal the pie on the ends. Set it aside when formed.
- Repeat the process until all of the dough is used and pies are formed.
Fry the Pies
- In a medium pan or pot, add the oil and heat on medium heat. (put a few pieces of flour in the oil to see if it bubbles and ready for frying)1 cup Sesame Seed Oil or Vegetable Oil
- When the oil is hot and ready for frying, place 1 or 2 pies in the oil to fry.
- Fry until golden brown. Flip the pies if necessary to ensure both sides are cooked.
- Once golden brown, remove the pie(s) from the oil and place them on a plate with a paper towel to absorb the oil.
- Repeat this process until all of the pies are fried.
- Let the pies cool for a few minutes so that you don't burn your tongue. ;-)
