Exquisite, try them. However, in this case I propose you some donuts or sweet potato donuts. They are great, delicious and a great breakfast or snack for children (at home or at school).

Ingredients

1 sweet potato (about 300 g)
15 g soft butter (at room temperature)
60 ml warm milk
2 g instant baker's yeast (or 4 g fresh yeast)
50 g white sugar
50 g brown sugar
1 pinch of salt
A pinch of nutmeg (you can also use a teaspoon of 4 spices)
1/2 tsp. vanilla sugar
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
250 g wheat flour

For the frosting:

120 grs. sugar
1/2 tsp. cinnamon powder
20 g. melted butter

Preparation

We make the sweet potato in the microwave. To do this, we must prick it with a fork and put it at maximum power, for 8 minutes, it should be soft. We cut it in half, lengthwise, and remove the pulp with the help of a spoon for example. Crush it with a fork and reserve.
In a bowl we pour the warm milk with the yeast and let it rest for 5 minutes so that the ferments are activated. We stir the milk with the yeast, and then we add the two types of sugar, the salt, the vanilla and the nutmeg (you can also add a little mixture of 4 spices, the one with cloves, ginger, nutmeg and cinnamon). We beat until it is well incorporated; we add the sweet potato, the butter and the whole egg plus the yolk. Add the flour little by little little by little until it admits until we get an elastic and homogeneous dough (we may not need all the flour).
We form a ball and let it rest covered with a damp cloth for two hours (it does not rise much). We knead by hand to remove the air and with the roller we stretch until we obtain a rectangle of 20 cm wide x 1,5 cm wide.
We make circles in the dough with a ring or the edge of a glass of about 10 cm in diameter. With another smaller ring (3 cm.) We make the inner hole. We place the donuts on a tray lined with parchment paper (oven) or a silicone sheet, cover them with transparent paper and let them rest for 3 hours.
After the resting time, we bake them in a preheated oven at 200º C for 10 minutes or until golden brown.
While they are baking, we make the glaze by mixing the sugar and cinnamon in a bowl. Paint the donuts with butter as soon as they come out of the oven, hot and sprinkle the sugar on top.
Transfer to a wire rack until just cooled.
