Sweet Potato Biscuits

Sweet Potato Biscuits are a new favorite around our house! Served with a meal or soup, smeared with butter and lathered with honey - you have a treat!

During the winter, I love to serve meals of soup, salad and muffins. Some of our favorites are Pumpkin Muffins, Carrot Raisin Muffins, Sourdough Bread Bowls, and good ol' Whole Wheat Bread. But, we have a new favorite - Sweet Potato Biscuits!

Shortly after Thanksgiving, a local store had a great sale on sweet potatoes. They were so cheap at $0.24/lb, I bought 3 cases!

Before you ask, "yes", they are still good and "yes", we still like sweet potatoes. ;)

As you might guess, I have stretched my creative wings with sweet potatoes - baked sweet potatoes, sweet potato souffle, sweet potato soup, sweet potato stuffing and now Sweet Potato Biscuits.

I have to tell you, when I told John and the children what they were, they were very skeptical. Well, Sweet Potato Biscuits won them over and put an end to the comments!

As if the biscuits weren't enough, when a pat of butter is added, Mmmm!

And, to make it even better, add honey on top of the hot buttered Sweet Potato Biscuits and you also have dessert!

If you don't have leftover mashed sweet potatoes: Pick a sweet potato weighing about 13 oz. (give or take) and in several places stick it with a fork. Microwave on high 6 - 8 minutes until very tender. Rotate as needed through the cooking. When cool enough to handle, scrape the sweet potato out of the skin, mash and measure 1 cup.

Tips For Making Sweet Potato Biscuits
