Step 1

Boil sweet potatoes for 10-15 minutes until softened. Mash them evenly and add a pinch of salt. Leave aside to cool to room temperature.

Step 2

Once mashed sweet potatoes have cooled to room temperature, add wheat flour and mix well. Shape dough into doughnuts.

Step 3

Heat enough oil in a pan to deep fry doughnuts. Test the temperature of the oil by dipping a wooden chopstick into it. If bubbles appear around the chopstick, the oil is ready. Fry doughnuts until they float. Leave aside to cool.

Step 4

In a clean wok, heat sugar and water over medium heat. Once the mixture caramelized, switch off the stove and mix doughnuts into the syrup.
