1 cup all purpose flour
3 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
3 tbsp shortening
1 cup cooked, mashed sweet potatoes
milk
Sift dry ingredients together. Cut in shortening. Add sweet potatoes; mix well. Add enough milk gradually to make a soft dough; knead for a few strokes. Roll dough 1/2-inch thick; cut in rounds. Place on baking sheet. Bake in 450-degree oven for 12 to 15 minutes. Serve hot.
Note: I was told in 1969, "this is a very old 'down east' North Carolina recipe. It has been used by the natives since the days of the early English settlers arrival in this country. That's the story I got with the recipe. I can neither deny or confirm the validity of it.
