		Sweet Potato Biscuits 5 cups all-purpose flour 1 cup packed light brown sugar 2 tablespoons baking powder 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon ground ginger 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice 1 cup vegetable shortening 2 cups cooked, mashed and cooled sweet potatoes 1 cup heavy cream 1/2 cup coarsely chopped pecans Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, stir together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, ginger and allspice. Add the shortening and cut in with 2 knives until crumbly. Add the sweet potatoes and mix well with a wooden spoon. Add the cream and pecans and stir just until moistened. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll out the dough to one and one-half inches thick. Cut out with a 2-inch floured biscuit cutter. Place the biscuits 1 inch apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake until golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve warm or let cool on a wire rack until room temperature. Makes about 2 dozen biscuits.
