| 2 cups | 125g / 4.4oz | All-purpose flour |
| 1 | Salt | |
| 2 teaspoons | 10ml | Sugar |
| 3/4 cup | 148g / 5.2oz | Solid vegetable shortening |
| 3 tablespoons | 45ml | Ice water - (to 4 tbspns) |
| Vegetable oil - for frying | ||
| 1 | Egg yolk | |
| 1/4 cup | 82g / 2.9oz | Steen's 100 percent Pure Cane Syrup |
| 1 teaspoon | 5ml | Cinnamon |
| 1/4 teaspoon | 1.3ml | Nutmeg |
| 1 | Bourbon | |
| 1 cup | 198g / 7oz | Powdered sugar |
| 2 tablespoons | 30ml | 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.
