SWEET POTATO BISCUITS

Merry Christmas to all!
This holiday season, we had warm and hearty soups with SWEET POTATO BISCUITS- and mom wanted the recipe. I was thus inspired to post it here- because they are easy, moist, and really what you want in a savoury biscuit. I am not the baking master that my husband is, and I frequently find baking frustratingly restraining (where's the creativity?) and nit picky. These biscuits, however, are QUICK to whip up and so satisfying!

1 cup mashed cooked sweet potatoes (2 small baked sweet potatoes)
3 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 Tbsp maple syrup
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp ground nutmeg

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Coat baking sheet with cooking spray or parchment paper.
Combine sweet potatoes, oil, syrup, vinegar and salt in large bowl. Sift in flour, baking powder and nutmeg.

Cut dry ingredients into sweet potato mixture with fork until mixture comes together. Stir in 2 to 3 Tbsp water, or enough to get the dough to hold together.
Drop golf ball-size rounds of dough onto prepared baking sheet. Bake 15-17 minutes, or until tops are lightly browned and firm to the touch. Serve warm. Makes approx. 12 biscuits.
*Thanks to Vegetarian Times for always having great recipes like these and to my local library for forgiving the fact that I often return copies of VT looking a bit "used."
