Yummy sweet potato biscuits that rival Steamer's biscuits in Chincoteague, Virginia. You'll taste no better than this! My family hates sweet potatoes, but they snatch these up every time I make them! You could also substitute pumpkin for the sweet potato and cardamom for the nutmeg.

I was looking for way to get more veggies in my kids and this is it! I've made them a few times now and the trick with these is to make them as drop biscuits. They come out perfect every time and the family eats them up. I did tweak them a bit for ease and taste in our household though. I use whole milk instead of evaporated and cinnamon to replace the nutmeg. Thanks for the recipe Crissi! Read More

I originally followed the recipe as given but the dough that resulted was gooey and impossible to roll. In the end I used 2 1/2 cups of flour instead of 1. The biscuits were not spectacular but they were good. I like the flavor which is different from a traditional biscuit and I plan to keep this recipe and make it again. Read More

I found the dough to be gooey as well and had to add more flour. However the taste is interesting and I am going to continue to play with this recipe. Read More

My husband loved them I thought they were just okay. I would have liked them to be a bit sweeter but that's probably a result of the wheat germ. Read More
