"I used almond meal instead of corn meal; and used 1 cup regular flour and 1 cup gluten-free flour. Delicious recipe. Thanks, DeLynne, for sharing this recipe."
"Kids loved them even though they don't like sweet potatoes."
"Delicious. I could have eaten the whole batch. First time I've ever made any type of homemade biscuit."
"I have made these a few times and they are delicious. I often interchange the sweet potatoes for squash or pumpkin with equally good results."
"Wow! These were very tasty, easy and moist! My teenage daughter loved them! Thanks for sharing!"
"Is sounds great."
"These were delicious! My son kept asking for the yellow rolls! :D"
"Awesome, Awesome, Awesome! These were so yummy. I served them for a special occasion and everyone wanted the recipe."
"These were very good. I halved the recipe and got 8 buiscuits out of it. There is not an overpowering sweet potato flavor, so if you are looking for one, this is not the recipe to use."
"I made this with Roasted chicken that was basted in an orange sauce. I added some orange zest to the biscuits and it complemented the meal perfectly."
