This is the basic recipe for some colorful biscuits to grace your luncheon salad or dinner party. What I like about it is that you can also add more sugar to taste along with some spices and have a sweeter version that is good for snacks or breakfast and still keep the healthier properties of the sweet potato.
Sweet Potato Biscuits
1 cup cooked and mashed sweet potatoes
1 tablespoon softened butter
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup buttermilk
2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line baking sheet with parchment or use vegetable oil spray to grease.
Beat sweet potatoes, butter, and sugar until well blended. In another bowl, combine the baking soda in the butter milk and then add to the potato mixture. Stir together the salt and flour and add to the mixture. Gently combine to just mix. Roll out to approximately 1/2-inch thickness on floured board.
Using a small cookie cutter, round works best, cut and place biscuits on prepared baking sheets. Bake for approximately 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Should yield about 2 dozen biscuits depending the size cookie cutter you used.
For sweeter biscuits, increase the sugar to 1/2 cup and add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, dash of cloves, nutmeg, and ginger to taste. Mix as already directed.
Whip together an egg white and tablespoon of sugar and glaze the tops of the biscuits before baking.

Happy Mother's Day Greetings from the Famous!
Mother is the name for God in the lips and hearts of little children.
William Makepeace Thackeray
The love of a mother is the veil of a softer light between the heart and the heavenly Father.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Sometimes the strength of motherhood is greater than natural laws.
Barbara Kingsolver
A mother's happiness is like a beacon, lighting up the future but reflected also on the past in the guise of fond memories.
Honore de Balzac
"A mother is not a person to lean upon, but a person to make leaning unnecessary."
Dorothy Canfield Fisher
"My mother was the most beautiful woman I ever saw. All I am I owe to my mother. I attribute all my success in life to the moral, intellectual and physical education I received from her."
George Washington, U.S. President
"By and large, mothers and housewives are the only workers who do not have regular time off. They are the great vacationless class."
