Sweet Potato Biscuits {Gluten & Diary free}
Serves: 8-10 Biscuits
 
*To cook a sweet potato for these biscuits, place 1 medium sized white fleshed sweet potato on the center rack of an oven preheated to 400 degrees. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until it is soft. Orange-fleshed sweet potatoes may be used, but they will alter the color of the biscuit. *Glutino brand gluten free flour was used in this recipe which contains white rice flour, potato starch, tapioca starch, guar gum, and salt. Any brand of all purpose gluten free flour should work just fine as long as it contains xanthan or guar gum.
