Sweet Potato And Plantain Delight

Hey! I have something yummy for you to try this weekend. It is absolutely delicious, my family loved it. This is my new twist to having fried Plantain and sweet Potatoes, my way of keeping them moist and soft instead of dry that it almost chokes you while you're eating. With this method you do not necessarily need to have Pap, Custard, Porridge on the side.

Let me know if you try this recipe, I'm sure you'll love it just like my family and I did x • In making this recipe you have to make sure everything you need is set and ready to go. • Minimal mixing is required to get a good result. • Try NOT to hip the flour in the measuring cup, scooping in the flour into the cup with a spoon and level out the top. • You can use any other oil you prefer but not flavoured oil as this will take away from the take and flavour of the cake after baking.
