100 Baby-Led Weaning Recipes
The mixture should form a ball – you may need to add a little more water to make the
ball form properly.
Wrap the dough in food-safe plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for at least
three hours (or just leave it overnight).
When the dough has chilled, roll it out as thinly as possible.
Cut out circles – you can use a biscuit cutter or even an upturned cup. Use a smaller
cup/cutter to make smaller turnovers.
Place a blob of the sweet potato mixture into the middle of the circle (the amount you
need depends on how large you cut the circles), then fold over so that the dough is
now in a semi-circle.
Using your fingers, seal the edges together – you can then press a fork all the way
around the edges to make them look pretty!
Keep going until you’ve used up all your dough and filling mixture.
Spray the tops of the turnovers with a little vegetable/canola oil.
Place on the greased baking tray and cook in the oven for 20 to 30 mins, until the
edges begin to turn golden.
Cool and serve.
These are tasty as they are, but our little ones think they’re even yummier served with
applesauce for dipping!
