For a smoother dumpling, ensure the sweet potato is thoroughly mashed with no lumps. If the dumpling dough is too sticky, add a tablespoon of flour at a time until it reaches a manageable consistency. Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper according to your spice preference. These dumplings are best served immediately while they are warm and crispy.

Follow The Directions
01
StepMicrowave the Sweet Potato: Place the sweet potato on a microwave-safe plate. Pierce it several times with a fork. Microwave on high until completely tender, approximately 8 to 10 minutes. Allow it to cool slightly.
02
StepPrepare the Dumpling Dough: Halve the sweet potato and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl. Mash thoroughly while still warm. Add the egg, goat cheese, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and salt. Whisk until everything is well combined. Gradually incorporate the self-rising flour, mixing with a spatula until just combined and no dry spots remain. Form the dough into a ball, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the dough to firm up.
03
StepMake the Bacon Butter: In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced bacon. Cook and stir until the bacon is starting to crisp and has rendered its fat, about 3 to 5 minutes.
04
StepPan-fry the Dumplings: Heat bacon butter in the saucepan over medium heat. Gently drop 5 dumplings at a time into the hot bacon butter, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Pan-fry for approximately 3 minutes per side, until golden brown and delightfully crusty. Repeat with the remaining dumplings.
05
StepServe: Plate the dumplings and generously top each serving with the delectable bacon butter. For an extra touch, consider adding a sprinkle of fresh herbs or a dollop of goat cheese.
