Cooking web notes

I made these for Easter to go along with our Easter Meal. Instead of using a round biscuit cutter, I decided to use a heart shaped one. My daughter likes putting gravy over top of her biscuits, but I just like them plain with a little butter.

Sweet Potato Biscuits Recipe

3 c. flour
6 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. sugar
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 c. mashed sweet potatoes
4 tbsp. shortening
1 c. milk

Sift together flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Stir in cinnamon. Add the mashed sweet potatoes and then the milk. Cut in the shortening. Mix into a soft dough, I find it best to just use my hands. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface. Use a biscuit cutter and cut out your biscuits. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Do not over-bake them!
