Grandma’s Sweet Potato Biscuits

TOTAL TIME: Prep/Total Time: 30 min. YIELD: 1-1/2 dozen.
The recipe for these mild-tasting biscuits was my grandmother's. They're a family favorite that we always serve at holidays. —Nancy Daugherty, Cortland, Ohio

  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
