Sweet Potato Biscuits

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 c. all-purpose flour
• 2 heaping T. sugar
• 4 t. baking powder
• 1/2 t. salt
• 3/4 c. mashed cooked sweet potatoes
• 1/4 c. softened butter
• 2 to 4 T milk (depends on moisture of the potatoes)

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Grease a baking pan.
2. Sift together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
3. In a separate, large bowl, mix sweet potatoes and butter. Add the flour mixture to the potato mixture and mix to make a soft dough. Then add milk a tablespoon at a time to mixture and continue to cut in.
4. Turn the dough out onto a floured board and toss lightly until the outside of the dough looks smooth. Roll the dough out to 1/2-inch thick and cut with a biscuit cutter.
5. Place the biscuits on the pan and coat tops with melted butter.
6. Bake for about 15 minutes. (Watch your oven: If the biscuits are browning too fast, lower the temperature.)
7. 15-18 biscuits
