Sweet Potato Biscuits



My mother experimented with this recipe one evening when Brady and Karissa were visiting. At the time, I thought the idea of sweet potato biscuits was very unappealing. Then I ate one. It was delicious and very sweet. Try one for yourself!

3/4 cup mashed sweet potatoes
1/4 cup melted shortening or margarine
3 TBS. sugar
2/3 cup milk
4 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 cup flour

Heat mashed sweet potatoes. Stir in melted margarine or shortening. Stir in sugar. Add milk, baking powder, salt, and flour to make a soft dough. Roll out dough and cut biscuits. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes.
