We often think of sweet potatoes in a supporting role as a side dish—mashed, baked whole, cubed and roasted, and so many restaurants fry them these days. Here's another thought—why not give them a starring role for breakfast when made into biscuits? Served with cinnamon-honey butter, they're downright colorful and festive. —Cathy Bell, Joplin, Missouri

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 cup half-and-half cream
HONEY BUTTER:

In a small bowl, combine the first six ingredients. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Combine sweet potatoes and cream; stir into crumb mixture just until moistened. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; gently knead 8-10 times.
Pat or roll out to 1/2-in. thickness; cut with a floured 2-1/2-in. biscuit cutter. Place 1 in. apart on a greased baking sheet.
Bake at 400° for 9-11 minutes or until golden brown. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, beat the butter, honey and cinnamon until blended. Serve with warm biscuits. Yield: 10 biscuits (about 1/2 cup honey butter).

Dangerously delicious! I really felt as though I was eating pumpkin cookies with cream cheese frosting when I tasted these. The biscuits by themselves are excellent, not very sweet but good. The honey cinnamon butter makes them decadent. Fabulous!
