Sweet Potato Biscuits "This recipe makes a wonderfully light and fluffy biscuit. A great way to use up those leftover mashed sweet potatoes. Makes a delicious sandwich with a slice ham, or simply topped with butter." RECIPE RATING: * * * * * PREP TIME 5 Min COOK TIME 15 Min READY IN 20 Min Original recipe yield 8 biscuits Servings USMETRIC INGREDIENTS (Nutrition) 1 cup all-purpose flour 3 teaspoons baking powder 2 teaspoons white sugar 1 teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons shortening 3/4 cup mashed sweet potatoes 1/4 cup milk DIRECTIONS Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Cut in the shortening until pieces of shortening are pea-sized or smaller. Mix in the sweet potatoes, and enough of the milk to make a soft dough. Turn dough out onto a floured surface, and roll or pat out to 1/2 inch thickness. Cut into circles using a biscuit cutter or a drinking glass. Place biscuits 1 inch apart onto a greased baking sheet. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown. FOOTNOTE Either canned mashed sweet potatoes, or leftover sweet potatoes can be used in this recipe. I make my mashed sweet potatoes using a little brown sugar and cinnamon, which lends a little spice to the biscuits.
