Sweet Yam Biscuits

These biscuits are great with soup or chili.

2 c. flour

1/2 c. brown sugar (can cut to 1/4 c. for less sweetness)

4 tsp. baking powder

1/4 tsp. salt

1/2 c. butter (can cut to 1/3 stick)

1 c. cooked, mashed yams (not sweet potatoes, can also used canned yams)

milk

Preheat oven to 425. Stir together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut in butter with a pastry blender. (I usually cut the butter to just a few tablespoons. The original recipe calls for 1/2 cup, but they are still very good with less.) Stir in yams and enough milk to make a stiff dough. The amount of milk will vary based on the moisture in the yams. Roll out on a lightly floured board and cut into biscuits. Bake 10-15 min on a greased baking sheet. Makes 18 medium biscuits. Serve plain or with butter and honey.
