Sweet Potato Biscuits

Here's a quick recipe you and your kids can use to whip up a batch of mouthwatering biscuits for Thanksgiving or any day of the year. I made these one year and they were a hit. I thought I'd share them with you!

 

 

 

RECIPE INGREDIENTS:

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

4 tablespoons cold butter, cut into small pieces

1/2 cup cooked, mashed, and cooled sweet potatoes

1 to 2 tablespoons cream or milk

1 tablespoon melted butter

Brown sugar

Pecan halves

 

 

1. Heat the oven to 450 degrees. Stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda in a large mixing bowl until well combined. Using your fingers, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles a coarse meal (a great job for kids).
2. Stir in the sweet potatoes, then add the cream or milk a little at a time until the mixture can be gathered into a soft ball.
3. Place the dough on a floured surface and knead it 10 or so times (not too long), then pat it into a 1/2-inch-thick circle. Using a floured cookie cutter or drinking glass rim, cut the dough into 2-inch rounds and arrange them on an un-greased baking sheet.
4. Brush the tops with the melted butter and sprinkle on brown sugar.
5. Press a pecan half into the top of each biscuit.
6. Bake 10 minutes or until golden brown. Makes about 9 biscuits.

 

Enjoy!!!!
