Sweet Potato Biscuits

Ingredients

• 2 cups flour
• 2 tsp. baking powder
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 3 Tbsp. shortening
• 1 cup cooked, mashed sweet potatoes
• 1/3 cup milk

Directions

Combine first 4 ingredients in a medium bowl; cut in shortening with pastry blender until mixture is crumbly. Add sweet potatoes and milk, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened. Turn dough out onto a heavily floured surface; knead lightly 8-10 times. Roll dough to 1/2 inch thickness; cut with a 2 inch round cutter. Place on a lightly greased baking sheet and bake at (preheated) 400 degrees F for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Yield: 1 dozen.
