TWD: Sweet Potato Biscuits
Although they look like a hockey puck, that's where the resemblence ends. The biscuits were soft and moist, but not overly flaky and didn't raise very much. In order to make biscuits or scones flaky, I cut the butter into the flour, then I put the mixture in the fridge until the butter has hardened again, usually between 10 and 20 minutes.
Would I make them again? Sure if I wanted to have the beautiful orange color. The flavor of sweet potato was a little too mild and they weren't as flaky as I would like. With a few modifications they would make delicious scones for halloween breakfast.

October 20,Tuesday's with Dorie recipe, Sweet Potato Biscuits was selected by Erin of Prudence Pennywise. They were light, tender, and creamy biscuits with a beautiful orange color. The mild sweet potato flavor was enhanced by cinnamon or nutmeg. A dab of butter and a drizzle of honey and you are good to go.
