Sweet Potato Biscuits
Vegetarian Times, March 1999

 

Supposedly a favorite of Magic Johnson's, these biscuits are a slam dunk for your palette!


Ingredients:

2/3 C. soy milk 1 Tbs. baking powder
2 tsp. fresh lemon juice
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 C. whole grain pastry flour 1/2 tsp. salt
1 C. unbleached all-purpose flour 1/4 C. canola oil
1 Tbs. raw sugar 1 C. cooked, mashed sweet potatoes
   

Preheat oven to 450

In small bowl, combine soy milk with lemon juice. Set aside.

In medium bowl, combine flours, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

In large bowl, combine oil and mashed sweet potatoes. Alternately add dry ingredients and soy milk mixture to sweet potatoes to form a soft dough.

Turn out onto lightly floured surface and knead briefly. (Don't overwork or biscuit will be tough) Pat dough into a 9"x12" rectangular shape, about 1/2 inch thick. Cut dough with a floured round biscuit cutter (or into squares with a knife). Place biscuits on baking sheet, about a 1/2 inch apart.

Bake until golden, about 8-10 minutes.
