Sweet Potato Biscuits

PDF version

Do not sift House-Autry Buttermilk Biscuit Mix, as it contains shortening flakes that dissolve during baking. Also, handle the dough as little as possible, as the more you mix the ingredients the tougher your biscuits will be.

Stir into dry mix to form soft dough. Turn onto lightly floured surface and knead 5 times. Roll to ½-inch thickness; cut with 2-inch biscuit cutter. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until done. Brush tops of hot biscuits with melted butter or margarine. Makes 10 to 12 biscuits.
