-------- ------------ --------------------------------

3 packages active dry yeast

3/4 cup warm water -- (100° to 110°)

7 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 tablespoon salt

1 1/2 cups sugar

1 1/2 cups shortening

3 cups canned mashed sweet potatoes

 

COMBINE yeast and 3/4 cup warm water in a 2-cup liquid measuring cup; let stand

5 minutes.

 

STIR together flour and next 3 ingredients in a large bowl; cut in shortening

with a pastry blender until mixture is crumbly. Stir in yeast mixture and sweet

potatoes just until blended.

 

TURN dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead until smooth and

month, if desired. Thaw biscuits; place on ungreased baking sheets. Cover and

let rise in a warm place (85°), free from drafts, 20 minutes or until doubled in

bulk.

 

BAKE at 400° for 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned.
