Time 20m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons shortening
¾ cup mashed sweet potatoes
¼ cup milk

Steps:

  • 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.
