Sweet Potato Biscuits
- 2 cup flour; white, whole wheat or half and half.
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- Dash of salt
- 4 tbsp cold butter or vegetable spread, such as Earth Balance
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup mashed sweet potato
- 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a medium sized bowl.
- Cut the butter or vegetable spread into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter, knives or a food processor.
- Mix together the sweet potato, milk, and maple syrup or honey.
- Combine the flour and sweet potato mixture and stir together with a fork just until the mixture comes together.
- Turn dough out onto a floured surface and knead lightly until the dough is fairly smooth, using more flour if the dough is too sticky. Don’t over-knead since that will make a tough biscuit.
- Pat the dough out to a thickness of about ½ inch.
- Cut with a 2-inch biscuit cutter or small glass.
- Bake 15 minutes or until just golden brown. Serve hot!
