Zimbabwean Sweet Potato Biscuits Recipe

Origin: Zimbabwe      Period: Traditional

These are traditional Zimbabwean biscuits (cookies) made with sweet potatoes. My wife makes something similar with grated cassava which I'll add to the site soon.

Ingredients

10 tbsp butter
40g sugar
1 tbsp lemon zest
1 tsp freshly-grated nutmeg
60ml honey
1 egg
180g finely-grated raw sweet potato
450g plain flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt

Lemon Glaze:
1 tsp butter
2 tsp lemon juice
280g icing sugar
1 tbsp water

Zimbabwean Sweet Potato Biscuits Preparation:


Method:

In a bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy then blend in the lemon zest, nutmeg, honey and the egg before folding-in the sweet potato.

Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt into a separate bowl then add to the butter mixture and mix thoroughly to combine. Drop rounded tablespoons of the mixture onto an ungreased baking tray then place in an oven pre-heated to 170°C and bake for 7 minutes.

As the biscuits are baking form the glaze by mixing all the ingredients together in a non-reactive bowl with a wooden spoon. Combine until smooth, adding just enough water so that the mix is easy to spread.

Take the biscuits out of the oven, allow to cool a little then spread the glaze over the top and allow to cool completely before serving.
