About Sweet Potato
Sweet potatoes contain two types of dietary fibre. Soluble fibre, which dissolves in water, and insoluble fibre, which does not dissolve in water. Soluble fibre catches excess carbohydrates and fats, while insoluble fibre expels them. These two roles help beautify the abdomen.
Sweet potatoes contain dietary fibre and jalapin which beautifies the intestines (stomach).
When these two nutrients reach the intestines, they assist in the elimination of waste products. Skin is said to be related to the health of the intestines, so adjusting the intestinal environment and eliminating waste products can help improve skin tone.

Tips for this recipe
• The recipe calls for cooking the sweet potatoes in the microwave for 8 minutes, but because of the size of the sweet potatoes, be sure to pierce them with a bamboo skewer and if they are still hard, cook them one minute at a time until they soften.
• Wash the sweet potatoes and wrap them in kitchen paper before wrapping them in plastic wrap. This will keep the sweet potatoes moist.
• Be careful when peeling the sweet potatoes because they are hot.
• Melt the butter before putting the sweet potatoes and butter in the blender.
• A pie has many layers of dough. The process of folding the layers together allows air to enter the dough, and when it is baked, the air expands, and the dough rises.
The air will expand during the baking process, causing the dough to rise.
At this point, you can poke holes in the dough with a fork to allow the air to escape and prevent the dough from expanding too much. If you poke holes in the dough with a fork, the air will escape, and the dough will not rise too much.
