This is a great basic biscuit recipe, but in order to get a pronounced sweet potato flavor, I increase the quantity on my second try to 3/4 c, and decreased the milk a bit. The color is amazing, especially if you don't over work the dough. I also didn't cut the rounds with a cutter, but instead patted the dough out into a 1/2 inch thick square, and cut the square into 9 even biscuits, separated them slightly and baked. (I'm lazy that way.) Thanks for submitting this recipe, Suzie-Q
