- 1 cup mashed cooked sweet potatoes
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg beaten
- 1 tbsp butter melted
- 1 cup milk
- 3 cups self-rising flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/2 cup shortening
Instructions
- Mix sweet potato, sugar, egg, and melted butter until smooth; stir in milk.
- In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cut in shortening until crumbly. Form a well and add sweet potato mixture; stir to combine.
- On a floured surface, knead dough gently for 10-12 strokes, then pat to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut with a floured 2-1/2-inch cutter.
- Place biscuits 1 inch apart on a baking sheet. Bake at 400°F for 15-20 minutes until lightly browned.
Notes
Make sure you have completely cooled your sweet potato down so it isn't when making the biscuits.
