1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 heaping tablespoons sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup mashed cooked sweet potatoes
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) softened butter
2 to 4 tablespoons milk (depending on the moisture of the potatoes)

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.

Sift together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. In a separate, large
bowl, mix the sweet potatoes and butter. Add the flour mixture to the potato
mixture and mix to make a soft dough. Then add milk a tablespoon at a time
to mixture and continue to cut in. Turn the dough out onto a floured board
and toss lightly until the outside of the dough looks smooth. Roll the dough
out to 1/2-inch thick and cut with a biscuit cutter. Place the biscuits on a
greased pan and coat tops with melted butter. Bake for about 15 minutes.
(Watch your oven: If the biscuits are browning too fast, lower the temperature.)
