Ube Crinkles 

Hi guys  today I will be showing how to make crinkles I use  dehydrated purple yam in this recipe and the outcome was devine,
 This is my own recipe  and I am proud of this :D

for the purple yam
1/2 cup of milk
3/4 cups of coconut cream or coconut milk
1/4 sugar
1/2 cup dehydrated purple yam
Note: You can half this recipe since this makes a double batch of crinkles

For the crinkles

we need

1 1/2 tsp of ube flavouring
3 drops of violet food color (optional)
1 egg
1/2 tsp of salt
1 tsp of baking powder
1/2 cup granulated white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup ube that we made


To re hydrate the purple yum (you can use ube jam or frozen ube butyou need to cook it as well so it will not be gritty).

In  a heavy based pan combine dehydrated purple yam, sugar coconut milk or cream and evaporated milk on top of a stove with the heat setting  medium to low heat. Let boil while stirring constantly. You know when its ready when the ube coats the bottom of the pan and its starts to clump up in to a ball, (sometimes you need to add more milk or cream) adjust accordingly.


To make the crinkles

Combine the dry ingredients, flour, baking powder and salt whisk to combine or you can sift if you prefer.  Set aside.

Beat the butter then add the sugar both brown and white, beat until light and fluffy.

Add the eggs beat until well combined.
Add ube flavouring and the rehydrated ube beat  until well mixed.
Its your choice if you want to add 3 drops of violet food colouring add about 3 drops.
 Then finally add the flour all at once  use spatula to mix the batter first just to avoid the flour from flying everywhere then use the electric beater for about a minute.

Cover the bowl and let it rest in the fridge for 4 hours or until it hardens up and not sticky enough to handle.

 Pre heat oven at 170 deg C'


Form the dough into a ball about 1 tbsp each.
Then roll it in the powdered sugar.
Tip: to ensure that the crinkles will have a better shape put it in the freezer for about 10 minutes before baking.

Bake in a preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes  do not overbake or else crinkles will be dry .


Enjoy
