3x
2
cups
all purpose flour
¼
cup
sugar
3
teaspoons
baking powder
1
teaspoon
cinnamon
½
teaspoon
salt
4
Tablespoons
butter
frozen for at least 2 hours
1
cup
cooked, mashed sweet potatoes
(about 1 large sweet potato) processed in food processor or mashed with potato masher
½
cup
milk
Instructions
Combine flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt and sugar in a bowl.
Grate butter into dry ingredients, tossing as you go.
Add sweet potatoes and milk, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened.
Turn dough onto lightly floured surface, kneading 4 or 5 times.
Roll dough to ½ inch thickness; cut with 2-2.5 inch biscuit cutter.
Place on lightly greased baking sheet or parchment paper.
Bake at 400 degrees for 14-15 minutes in traditional oven or at 350 in convection oven for 12-13 minutes, or until lightly browned.
Brush with melted butter, if desired.
Notes
The yield will depend on the size of your biscuit cutter. I got 18 with a 2 inch cutter, but you'll only get 12-14 if you use a 2.5 cutter.
