I have searched several sites for sweet potato biscuits and most very ordinary and disappointing - so glad I continued my search because these are superior. <br/>Thanks....... -
Made these as a trial run & liked them so much that I'll be making them again as part of my contribution to a special Thanksgiving gathering that we'll be attending! REALLY, REALLY GREAT TASTING BISCUITS, & especially nice when topped with recipe #397116 #397116 that I'd also made! Thanks for this wonderful treat!
