Sweet Potato Biscuits

Recipe Ingredients

2 cups	125g / 4.4oz	Flour
2 teaspoons	10ml	Baking powder
1/2 teaspoon	2.5ml	Baking soda
1 teaspoon	5ml	Salt
1 teaspoon	5ml	Sugar
12 tablespoons	180ml	Cold butter
1 cup	237ml	Mashed roasted sweet potatoes
1/2 cup	118ml	Ground pecans
1/3 cup	78ml	Half-and-half

Recipe Instructions

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Grease a 1/2 sheet pan.

In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar together. Add the butter, and with your hands, work the butter into the flour mixture until the mixture resembles a coarse cornmeal. Stir in the sweet potatoes and pecans. Add the cream, a little at a time until a soft dough is formed. Lightly flour a surface. Place the dough onto the surface and dust the top with flour. Lightly press the dough out to a 1/2-inch thickness. Using a 2-inch biscuit cutter, cut the dough into rounds. Place the biscuits on a greased baking sheet and bake for about 15 minutes or until the biscuits are golden-brown.

This recipe yields 3 dozen biscuits.
