Tips and Technique: The heavy potatoes keep this biscuit from rising to much so keep them a smaller size when you cut them out so they don't end up as a large, heavy hockey puck.
Sweet Potato Biscuits
2 cups flour, sifted
1 Tbl baking powder
1 Tbl sugar
1 tsp salt
8 Tbls cold butter, cut into tiny pieces
1/2 cup applesauce
juice of 1 orange
3/4 - 1 cup mashed sweet potatoes
Mix together the dry ingredients, add the butter. Using either a pastry cutter or your fingers- work the butter into the flour until pea sizes form. Add the remaining ingredients and stir by hand just until the dough comes together. You may need more or less juice depending on the humidity in your area and the size and juiciness of your orange, add this in slowly a few tablespoons at a time, just until the dough comes together. You don't want to over mix biscuit dough.
Pat out the dough on the counter, use a round cookie cutter or small juice glass to cut out the biscuits. Place on a lightly greased baking sheet- bake at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes or until the bottom lightly browns.
