Sweet Potato Biscuits - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 egg, slightly beaten
1 c. cooked mashed sweet potatoes
1/4 to 1/2 c. sugar
2 Tbsp. butter, soft
3 Tbsp. shortening
about 2 c. flour

Preparation

Combine egg, sweet potatoes, sugar, butter and shortening in a mixing bowl; mix well.
Stir in enough flour to make a soft dough. (Dough will be softer than regular biscuit dough.)
Turn out on a floured surface; knead lightly a few times.
Roll to 1/4-inch thickness; cut with a 2-inch biscuit cutter.
Place on an ungreased baking sheet and bake at 350\u00b0 for about 15 minutes. Yields about 16 biscuits.
