Sweet potato biscuits (atlas)

16 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1¼ cup Whole wheat flour
½ cup Unbleached white flour
2 teaspoons Baking powder
½ teaspoon Salt
3 tablespoons Margarine
⅓ cup Apple juice
1 cup Well mashed, cooked sweet potato
3 tablespoons Honey
⅓ cup Finely chopped walnuts or pecans

Directions

Preheat oven to 425F.

In a mixing bowl, sift together the flours, baking powder & salt.

Work in the margarine till the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.

Add apple juice, potato, honey & nuts & work till it resembles a soft dough.

Turn dough out onto a well-floured board & knead enough extra flour to make the dough lose its stickiness. With floured hands, divide dough into 16 equal parts. Shape into small balls & arrange on a lightly oiled cookie sheet, patting them down a bit to flatten them.

Bake for 12 to 15 minutes. Serve hot with Creamy Mushroom Soup.
