Sweet Comfort

Sweet Comfort :)

This is a sweet twist to the basic homemade biscuit. I have made these at home and they are so good. Please try this recipe and let me know what you think. One more thing, this is a Paula Dean recipe. She is my northern star for southern cooking.

Ingredients
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 heaping tablespoons sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup mashed cooked sweet potatoes
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) softened butter
2 to 4 tablespoons milk (depending on the moisture of the potatoes)

Directions
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.

Sift together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. In a separate, large bowl, mix the cooked sweet potatoes and butter. Add the flour mixture to the potato mixture and mix to make a soft dough. Then add milk, a tablespoon at a time, to the mixture and continue to cut in. Turn the dough out onto a floured board and toss lightly until the outside of the dough looks smooth. Roll the dough out to 1/2-inch thick and cut with a biscuit cutter (about 1-2 inch around) . Place the biscuits on a greased pan and coat there tops with melted butter. Bake for about 15 minutes. (Watch your oven: If the biscuits are browning too fast, lower the temperature.)
