1 cup all-purpose flour

3 teaspoons baking powder

2 teaspoons white sugar

1 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons shortening

3/4 cup mashed sweet potatoes

1/4 cup milk

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Cut in the shortening until pieces of shortening are pea-sized or smaller. Mix in the sweet potatoes, and enough of the milk to make a soft dough.

Turn dough out onto a floured surface, and roll or pat out to 1/2 inch thickness. Cut into circles using a biscuit cutter or a drinking glass. Place biscuits 1 inch apart onto a greased baking sheet.

Bake for 12 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown.
