Sweet Potato Biscuits
- 1-1/2 C. sifted flour
- 3 T. butter or shortening
- 1-1/2 t. baking powder
- 1/2 cup cold mashed sweet potatoes
- 1/2 t. salt
- 6 T. milk
Sift together the dry ingredients, work in the butter or shortening, and cut in the sweet potatoes. Moisten with milk, using only enough to form a soft tender dough. Turn onto a slightly floured board, knead until just smooth, and roll 1/2" thick. Cut into 1 to 1-1/2" biscuits. Bake in preheated oven at 450 degrees until brown.
Makes about 1 dozen
