Yam or sweet potato pockets



This week sweet potatoes, or better known here in our corner of the world as yams, were on sale. Of course I bought a bagful of them and looked around for recipes. These buns appealed to me because for our afternoon coffees we always have to have something sweet as an accompaniment. My husband is able to finish off a whole plate of cookies with one mug of coffee. So I am always on the lookout for things that are at least healthier than those commercial cookies I was forced to buy during my lengthy illness I thankfully have behind me now.

But to get to the point, I made a small batch of these buns and, sure enough, they were gone before I could snap a picture of them. So I had to breach copyright laws and use the photo taken by Manang, the creator of the recipe. Actually I may as well send you to her website because she has a slideshow that details all the steps necessary in the creation of these lovely and healthy little gems:
