Potato Recipe – Sugar-Crusted Sweet Potato Biscuits

Drop biscuits are sweetened with mashed sweet potato and a bit of brown sugar with an extra sprinkle on top for a pretty sugar coating.

Ingredients

• Crisco® Original No-Stick Cooking Spray
• 2 cups Martha White® Self-Rising Flour
• 4 tablespoons brown sugar, divided
• 3 tablespoons Crisco® All-Vegetable Shortening
• ⅓ cup milk
• ½ cup mashed canned sweet potato or mashed cooked sweet potato
• ⅓ cup sour cream

Cooking Directions

1. Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Spray cookie sheet with no-stick cooking spray. Combine flour and 2 tablespoons of the brown sugar in medium bowl; mix well. Cut in shortening with pastry blender or fork until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
2. Combine milk, sweet potato and sour cream in small bowl; blend well. Add to flour mixture all at once, stirring just until moistened (if dough is too dry, add additional milk 1 teaspoon at a time, until dry ingredients are moistened). Drop dough by 1/4 cupfuls onto prepared cookie sheet. Sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons brown sugar.
3. Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until biscuits are golden brown. Immediately remove from cookie sheet. Serve warm.
