…In under 20 MINUTES!
Another recipe submission by my friend, Dawn. I asked her why she had all these quick recipes if she didn’t cook, and she replied, “Did I say I actually used the recipes?” Thanks for sharing these great, quick recipes, Dawn!
Sweet Potato Biscuits
Ingredients:
• 1 1/4 C 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 oven to 450 degrees F.
Sift together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. In a separate, large bowl, mix the sweet potatoes and butter. Add the flour mixture to the potato mixture and mix to make a soft dough. Add the milk one tablespoon at a time to 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. Evenly roll the dough out to 1/2-inch thickness and cut with a biscuit cutter. Place the biscuits on a greased pan and coat tops with melted butter. Bake for about 15 minutes. (Watch your oven: If the biscuits are browning too fast, lower the temperature.)
I don’t cook either but I think I’m going to try these.
One day… after I deliver, I’m going to eat everything sweet. I’m going to have a carb overload!
Oooh, these sound fabulous! My kids love baked sweet potatoes– even without the marshmallows! I can’t wait to throw an extra sweet potato into the oven so I can bake these too. The kids will get in on the action by using their favorite large cookie cutters… and joyfully getting covered in flour! Good eats… good fun!
