Sweet Potato Pie Sticks

A delightful treat combining sweet potato and flaky pastry, perfect for a snack or dessert.

Ingredients
- Sweet potato: 1/2 piece (150g or 5.3 oz)
- Amazake (a sweet fermented rice drink): 50ml (1.7 fl oz)
- Butter: 15g (1 tablespoon)
- Frozen puff pastry sheets: 2 sheets
- Egg yolks: 2
- Black sesame seeds: As needed
- Granulated sugar: As needed
- Flour (for dusting): As needed
Preparation
- Peel the sweet potato and cut it into bite-sized pieces. Soak in water for about 5 minutes, then place on a microwave-safe dish and heat in the microwave for about 5 minutes.
- Mash the sweet potato until smooth, then add the butter and mix well. Gradually add the amazake while mixing thoroughly.
- Dust a surface with flour and roll out the puff pastry sheets. Spread the sweet potato mixture over one sheet, then place the other sheet on top.
- Cut into stick shapes, twist them, and place on a baking sheet. Brush with egg yolk, sprinkle with granulated sugar and black sesame seeds, and bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (392°F) for 12 minutes.

If you cannot find amazake, you can substitute with a mixture of rice milk and a little sugar, though the flavor will differ.
