These are great! I halved the recipe, and it made 19 cut with a 2 1/4 inch glass. I had in my freezer some sweet potato/carrot puree (used for sneaky chef recipes), so that was a great stand in. The kids love these, and they are way healthier than standard tea biscuits, with the buttermilk, sweet potatoes and butter instead of shortening. Served with roast lemon/oregano chicken, but most of them were gone as appetizers while we were waiting for the chicken to finish. Thanks for a perfect recipe! Will definitely make these again.

These were wonderful. I used 3 smallish to medium sweet potatoes, and I'm sure there was more than one cup of mashed sweet potato in the end, but these had a wonderful flavor. I ended up cutting the dough with a shot glass, so I had close to 40 little biscuits. I actually served this with a Moroccan meal, and the sweet biscuits went wonderfully with my sweet and cinnamony chicken and couscous. Thanks Britt, we love these!
