  • 1 cup cooked mashed sweet potato
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 2 cups self-rising flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable shortening
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 475º F. Lightly spray baking sheet with nonstick baking spray.
  • Sift together self-rising flour, salt and sugar into a large mixing bowl. Cut in the shortening and butter into the flour mixture. Add the sweet potato and slowly add enough of the milk to make a soft dough.
  • Pour dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat into a round disc about 1/2 inch thick. Cut the dough with a floured, sharp metal or glass cutter. Place the cut biscuits on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the sweet potato biscuits lightly with melted butter.
  • Place into hot oven and bake for 10-12 minutes. Serve hot.
