Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup plain yogurt
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • ½ cup purple sweet potato paste

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 375°F. In a large bowl, mix 2 cups flour, 2 tsp baking powder, and 1/2 tsp salt.

  2. 2

    Cut in 3 tbsp cold butter until crumbly, then stir in 3/4 cup yogurt to form a soft dough.

  3. 3

    Roll dough into a rectangle on a floured surface. Spread 1/2 cup purple sweet potato paste evenly over it.

  4. 4

    Roll up tightly from the long side, pinch the seam, and place seam-side down on a baking sheet.

  5. 5

    Bake until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped, about 20-25 minutes. Cool slightly before slicing.
