Maple Sweet Potato Biscuits


It's teatime again!  Today's blue and white setting is the perfect foil for an allergy-free version of Paula Deen's Sweet Potato Biscuits.  As you would expect from the Queen of Butter, Paula's biscuit recipe includes several types of dairy.  I've substituted coconut oil for the butter, sorghum and rice flour for the wheat flour, and added maple sugar instead of refined white sugar.  To make life even easier, I've used jars of baby food sweet potatoes instead going through the trouble of peeling and boiling raw sweet potatoes.

The result is a very sweet, moist biscuit that has undertones of coconut, but you wouldn't be able to place it if someone hadn't mentioned coconut.  The faint maple flavor adds an original touch.  Perfect with a nice lemon herbal tea!

Maple Sweet Potato Biscuits

1 1/2 cups sorghum flour
1/4 cup white rice flour
2 heaping Tablespoons maple sugar
1/2 tsp salt
2 jars baby sweet potatoes (organic)
1/4 cup coconut oil

Mix together the dry ingredients, then add the wet and mix lightly until just blended. Add a little more flour if your dough is too moist.  Roll out to 1/4" thickness and cut with a biscuit cutter.  Place on an oiled baking sheet and bake at 450 degrees Fahrenheit for about 15 minutes.  Watch the oven, as the biscuits can burn quickly at this temperature.

  2. Wow, that sounds really delicious. I love to have different things like that for the Fall Season,
    We eat a lot of pumpkin french toast and pancakes during the Fall, as well as pumpkin pie, and Sweet potato pie, So that looks like a great new addition to our Fall collection.

    Thanks for sharing it,
    Blessings, Nellie

  3. Hello and thank you for sharing your recipe for these yummy biscuits. I am thankful that we don't have any allergies of any serious kind in our house and we can eat what we want. However, I'm always open to new recipes and ideas. I too have raised three guys and was a stay-at-home mom. Loved every minute of it too and wish I could do it all over again, knowing what I know now, of course. Your blue china, the teapot, in particular, is very pretty. Thanks for sharing this with Tea Time today and enjoy your day.

    Blessings,
    Sandi
