Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 2 heaping tablespoons sugar
  • 1 1/4 cups UNBLEACHED all-purpose flour (bleached flour toughens baked goods)
  • 4 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter (softened (1/2 stick))
  • 2-4 tbsp. milk (depending on the moisture of the potatoes)
  • 1 cup cooked sweet potatoes (mashed)
  • 1/2 tsp. kosher or sea salt
  • melted butter

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 450°.
  • Sift together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
  • In a large mixing bowl, mash sweet potatoes with a potato masher.
  • And softened butter and mash until butter dissolves into the sweet potatoes.
  • Add flour mixture to the potato mixture and stir to make until a soft dough forms.
  • Add milk a tablespoon at a time.
  • Use only as much as necessary to get the ingredients to adhere.
  • Turn dough out onto a floured board and knead lightly until dough looks smooth—1-2 minutes.
  • Roll dough out to 1-inch thickness.
  • Cut dough with a biscuit cutter or glass.
  • Spray cookie sheets or glass baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Place biscuits on prepared baking sheets.
  • Brush melted butter on tops and sides of biscuits.
  • Bake about 15-20 minutes or until done. (Because I made my biscuits a lot thicker than the original recipe called for, they took 22 minutes to bake.)
  • Brush biscuits with melted butter again after removing from oven.
