Ingredients

  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 10 oz. purple yam boiled, peeled and mashed (boil in their skins so that they retain color)
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons butter melted
  • oil for frying

Glaze Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup coconut milk
  • 2 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and sugar.In a small bowl, whisk eggs, coconut milk and butter until thoroughly combined.
  • Make a well in the middle of the flour.  Pour in the wet ingredients in the middle and slowly start to incorporate the flour.
  • When it is halfway mixed, add the yam and mix until you have a smooth homogenous dough. The dough will be very soft.
  • Leave to rest for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the glaze. Sift the powdered sugar. Add coconut milk and mix until smooth and thoroughly combined.
  • On a well floured board, place the dough. Sprinkle more flour on top of the soft dough.
  • Knead for 1-2 minutes and then pat into a 12" diameter circle.
  • Heat enough oil for deep frying to 350 F.
  • Using a 3" cutter for the doughnuts and 1" cutter for the holes, cut out donuts and place on parchment paper.
  • Roll the leftover dough into a circle again and continue to cut out doughnuts until all the dough is used up.
  • Place a wire rack over a piece of parchment paper.
  • Place in hot oil.
  • When the donuts rise to the surface and are golden brown, flip over and cook for another few minutes until both sides are browned.
  • Place on the wire rack. Once the oil has drained off, pour the glaze on top and let sit until glaze hardens.

Notes

If using, fresh purple yam, make sure it is ube and not Okinawa purple sweet potatoes. The Okinawa has a far less vibrant color inside.
