Instructions: |
Heat the oven to 450*. Stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda in a large mixing bowl until well combined. Using your fingers, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles a coarse meal. Stir in the sweet potatoes, then add the cream or milk a little at a time until the mixture can be gathered into a soft ball.
Place the dough on a floured surface and knead it 10 or so times (not too long), then pat it into a 1/2 inch thick circle. Using a floured cookie cutter or drinking glass rim, cut the dough into 1-inch rounds and arrange them on an ungreased baking sheet. Brush the tops with the melted butter and sprinkle on brown sugar. Press a pecan half into the top of each biscuit. Bake 10 minutes or until golden brown. Makes 9 biscuits.
