Sweet Potato Biscuits

Ingredients:

• 1 cup cooked sweet potato
• 1/3 cup milk
• 1/2 teaspoon Spice Islands 100% Pure Bourbon Vanilla Extract
• 2 cups flour
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon Spice Islands Pumpkin Pie Spice
• 1/2 cup butter

Directions:
Preheat oven to 400ºF.

Mash or puree cooked sweet potatoes with milk and vanilla until smooth. Set aside; cool to room temperature.

Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl. Cut in butter with pastry blender or two knives until mixture resembles coarse meal. Make a well with dry ingredients and add mashed sweet potatoes. Mix just until moistened.

Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. Pat dough to 1-inch thickness. Cut biscuits with a 2-1/2-inch biscuit cutter.

Place biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake 12 to 15 minutes, or until biscuits are lightly browned on top. Serve warm with butter.
