    PASTELILLOS / Sweet Yucca Pastries     

   Ingredients :
 
2.2 lb (1 k) yucca (cassava)
3 ½ oz (100 g) squash (optional)
¼ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground aniseed
Camotillo / Sweet Potato Dessert or Manjarblanco for filling
Vegetable oil
Confectioners sugar
Cinnamon

   Preparation:

Peel yuccas and cook in water together with squash, salt and aniseed.

Transfer to a bowl or a work surface and mash with potato masher until a smooth dough is obtained.
