SWEET POTATO Biscuit Recipe?!


Question: At a party recently a new Japanese girl friend of mine brought delicious sweet potato biscuits. She was shy about giving me the recipe but stated that the sweet potato was a special kind only available at the Asian market and there was NO flour in the recipe. I really want this recipe but did not want to push her so perhaps someone out there can help me I hope! =)

Thank You!

Place cakes on a tray and bake in 375 F oven for 10-15 min.

*SATSUMA-IMO are Japanese sweet potatoes, these are available at Japanese mkts or some Asian grocery stores.

I want that recipe, too. Those sound so good!

Can't really give any advise except that by coincidence I heard about these cookies before a few days(overheard a conversation of someone who made them,here in greece)!I am pretty sure that you can make them with more simple ingredients. I am as curious as you to read the recipe!!!
Good luck!

Sweet Potato Biscuits

Ingredients-
1 cup all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons shortening
3/4 cup mashed sweet potatoes
1/4 cup milk

Preparation-
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Cut in the shortening until pieces of shortening are pea-sized or smaller. Mix in the sweet potatoes, and enough of the milk to make a soft dough.
Turn dough out onto a floured surface, and roll or pat out to 1/2 inch thickness. Cut into circles using a biscuit cutter or a drinking glass. Place biscuits 1 inch apart onto a greased baking sheet.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown.
