You can bake it while you”™re making other food, and you can roast more than one potato and freeze the puree in silicon ice cube trays, store it in Ziploc freezer bags, and then just thaw it whenever you want to make some crackers (I learned this trick from making Elise”™s baby food purees). Or you can cut the potato into pieces and steam it until softened.

Set the cooled sweet potato puree aside.

Place butter into the bottom of your KitchenAid Mixer. If you don”™t have a KitchenAid Mixer, well ”¦you should really get one, saves tons of time baking, but anyway go ahead and follow the original recipe instructions. Sift flour, baking powder, su
