Description
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.
Ingredients
•
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
1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2
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.
3
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.
4
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown.
