2 to 3 med sweet poatoes (1 1/2 C mashed)
1 stick REAL unsalted butter
1/2 C sugar
2TBS milk or half and half
1tsp salt
3-1/4 to 3-1/2 C all purpose flour
4-1/2 tsp baking powder

Bake potatoes until soft about 45 min at 400 degrees. They will cook faster if you prick them and put them in aluminum foil in the oven. While potatoes are warm measure 1-1/2 cup of pulp into a large bowl. Add butter, sugar, milk, and salt, mix well.

Sift flour and baking powder, add to sweet potatoe mixture. Work lightly with hands to make a soft dough. Do not knead!! Shape dough into a flatened ball. Cover in plastic and chill. Dough can be made a day early to this point.

Do not overwork the dough because it will keep it from rising!!

Preheat oven to 400 and place in the upper portion of the oven. Lightly grease a cookie sheet and place biscuits closely bake 15 to 20 minutes or until brown.
