{"Image ImageDescription": "Sweet Potato Casserole Biscuits\n\n1 large sweet potato\n\u00bc cup sugar\n1 teaspoon cinnamon\n1 teaspoon vanilla\n4 cups self-rising flour, sifted (White Lily recommended)\n\u00bc cup salted butter, chilled (do not substitute with margarine)\n\u00bc cup shortening, chilled (Crisco recommended)\n1 \u00bd cups buttermilk\n\nTopping:\n\u00bd cup light brown sugar, packed\n\u00bc cup melted butter, salted (do not substitute with margarine)\n\u00bd cup chopped pecans\n\nPrepare sweet potato by slicing into \u00bc-inch sections. Boil until fork tender. Drain and mash with sugar, cinnamon and vanilla. Set aside to let cool. \nSift flour into large, clean bowl. Cut in butter and shortening until mixture appears to have pea-size lumps in it. Make well in mixture and pour in buttermilk. With large spoon, pull from the sides of the bowl only enough to mix in wet ingredients. Add sweet potato mixture. Mix again, only enough to distribute sweet potato mixture into dough. It should look swirled. \nTurn the sticky dough out onto a floured surface, and with floured hands gently pat the dough to about \u00bd-inch thickness. Fold dough in half and gently pat again. Repeat 3 more times taking care not to work the dough, just carefully coaxing in layers. \nCut out biscuits with 2-inch biscuit cutter. Do not twist the cutter; push it straight down. Transfer biscuits onto a greased cookie sheet making sure they are touching. In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, butter and pecans. Sprinkle over biscuits.
