Sweet Potato Biscuits - Sweet Potato Biscuit Recipe
These tasty biscuits are made with mashed sweet potatoes, butter, and spices. Make these for the fall or winter holiday meals.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups self-rising flour
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 3 tablespoons shortening
  • 1 cup mashed sweet potatoes
  • 6 tablespoons milk
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Preparation:

Combine first 4 ingredients in a bowl. Cut in 1/4 cup butter and the shortening with a pastry blender or forks until mixture is crumbly. Add mashed sweet potato and milk, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened. Turn dough out onto a floured surface and knead just a few times.

Roll dough out to 1/2-inch thickness; cut with a 2-inch biscuit cutter. Place biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet and brush with the melted butter. Bake at 400° for 12 minutes, or until nicely browned.
Makes about 15 to 18 biscuits.

Great Sweet Potato rolls, Member joules14

I made the rolls with a couple of changes. First I use at least half whole wheat flour and put in a 1/4 vital wheat gluten. If I don't have enough sweet potato, I just add in pumpkin and all is well. My daughter and husband love these. Julie
