Biscuits - Sweet Potato Biscuits

A little about categorizing bread. Our system is not scientific by a long shot. We've placed them into table, flat, dessert, and fried. Table bread may include loaves of sandwich-type bread or something designed to serve as a loaf or dinner bun at the table. Flat is generally un-yeasted bread that is flat (duh!). Fried can be pan-fried or deep-fried. Dessert is for delectables such as banana bread. The words dressing and stuffing are interchangeable, depending where you live. Many will contain bread, others may not. This is dizzying.

Biscuits - Sweet Potato Biscuits

Post by Chowhound »

Southern_Sweet-Potato_Biscuits.jpg
2 1/2 cups of flour
1/3 cup of shortening
1 can of drained sweet potatoes
3/4 cup of whole milk
1 tablespoon of baking powder
1 teaspoon of salt

Mix together your flour, baking powder and salt in a big bowl. Cut in your shortening until the texture turns to thick, rough crumbs. In another bowl, mash your sweet potatoes and milk together before adding the crumb mixture until it’s slightly incorporated. Turn everything out onto a floured surface and knead it about eight to 10 times. Next, roll the dough out to about a half-inch thickness and cut it round biscuit cutter. Put the biscuits on ungreased baking sheets and bake them at 425 degrees for eight to 10 minutes. Take them out when they’re golden brown and let them cool on wire racks. Enjoy!
