- 2 cups Self-rising Flour
- ¼ cup Brown Sugar packed
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 7 Tbsp. Butter cold, divided
- 3 Tbsp. Shortening
- 1 cup Sweet Potatoes mashed
- 6 Tbsp. Milk
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
In a large bowl, combine flour, brown sugar and cinnamon. Stir until well combined.
Cut in 4 tablespoons of cold butter and the shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a small bowl, combine milk and mashed sweet potatoes until well combined.
Add sweet potato mixture to crumb mixture and stir just until combined.
Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead 8-10 times by hand. Roll dough flat to about ½" thickness. Using a 2.5" biscuit cutter, cut out the biscuits and place on ungreased baking sheet.
Re-roll dough scraps and continue until all dough is used. Melt remaining 3 tablespoons of butter and brush over top of biscuits.
Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown. Serve warm.
