👨🍳 步驟
- 1
In a small bowl, dissolve yeast and 1 tbsp of sugar in warm water. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
💡 專業提示: Ensure the water is warm, not hot, to avoid killing the yeast. - 2
In a large bowl, combine the mashed sweet potato and pumpkin. Add the flour, remaining 1 tbsp sugar, and salt. Stir to combine.
💡 專業提示: Make sure the mashed vegetables are smooth and lump-free. - 3
Pour the activated yeast mixture into the vegetable mixture. Mix until a smooth, thick batter forms. Cover the bowl and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

While the batter is rising, prepare the chancaca syrup. In a saucepan, combine the chancaca, 2 cups of water, cinnamon stick, and anise stars. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove cinnamon and anise.
- 5
Heat about 2-3 inches of vegetable oil in a deep pot or Dutch oven to 350°F (175°C). Using a piping bag with a star tip or a squeeze bottle, carefully pipe rings of batter into the hot oil. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and puffed.
💡 專業提示: Don't overcrowd the pot. Fry in batches. - 6
Remove the fried picarones from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve warm, drizzled generously with the chancaca syrup.
💡 專業提示
- ✓The consistency of the batter is key; it should be thick enough to hold its shape when piped.
- ✓Adjust the frying temperature to ensure the picarones cook through without burning.
- ✓The chancaca syrup can be made ahead of time and reheated.
