Egg yolk

Teaspoon Cinnamon

Dash Bourbon
Cup Powdered sugar
Tablespoon Milk; (to 3 tbspns)

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Toss the sweet potatoes with the oil, salt
and pepper. Place the potatoes on a baking sheet and place in the oven.
Roast the potatoes until tender, about 1 1/2 hours. Remove the potatoes from
the oven and cool completely. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and
sugar. Add the shortening and work it in with your hands until the mixture
resembles coarse crumbs. Add the water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and work it
in with your hands. Add only as much as you need for a smooth ball of dough.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat the oil. Remove the dough from the refrigerator and place it on a
lightly floured surface. Roll out the dough on the floured surface into a
rectangle about 24 by 8 inches and 1/8−inch thick. Using a sharp knife, cut
twelve 4−inch squares. Remove the skin from the potatoes and place them in a
mixing bowl. Add the egg yolk, cane syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg and bourbon. Mix
well. Place about 1/4 cup of the filling in the center of each pastry
square. Bring one corner of the pastry to the other, forming a triangle.
Using the tines of a fork, crimp the edges of the triangle and seal
completely. When the oil has reached 360 degrees, carefully lay a couple of
the pies in the hot oil, fry until golden brown, stirring occasionally for
over all browning, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the pies from the oil and
drain on a paper−lined plate. Sprinkle the hot pies with the sugar. Repeat
the process until all of the pies are fried. In a mixing bowl, stir the
powdered sugar, milk and a splash of bourbon together. Mix until smooth.
Drizzle the frosting over the hot pies and serve immediately. This recipe
yields 1 dozen.
