Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour; 2 tablespoons baking powder; 1/8 teaspoon allspice; 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves; 1/2 teaspoon salt; 1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed; 1/4 cup unsalted butter, chilled; 1/4 cup shortening, chilled; 1 1/2 cups sweet potatoes, mashed (from fresh cooked not canned); 2 tablespoons milk

Servings: persons

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons baking powder
1/8 teaspoon allspice
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup unsalted butter, chilled
1/4 cup shortening, chilled
1 1/2 cups sweet potatoes, mashed (from fresh cooked not canned)
2 tablespoons milk

1
Heat oven to 425 degrees.
2
Sift the flour, baking powder, allspice, cloves, and salt in a large bowl. Use the tips of your fingers to blend in the brown sugar.
3
Cut in the chilled butter and shortening with a pastry cutter or pulse in a food processor until the mixture resembles coarse, crumbly meal. Next, stir in the mashed sweet potatoes and knead until the dough just holds together.
4
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead gently for 1 minute, adding a little flour as necessary to incorporate all the ingredients. Do not overwork.
5
Pat the dough in a 1/2-inch thick circle and let it rest, covered with a clean towel, for 10 to 15 minutes.
6
Cut out the biscuits with a 2-inch round cutter dipped in flour. Do not twist the cutter; press down then lift. Gather the scraps, pat out again, and cut into biscuits. Arrange them about 3/4-inch apart on an ungreased baking sheet and brush the tops with milk. Bake until golden brown, about 10 to 12 minutes. Cool the biscuits on a rack.
