I found this vegan friendly recipe for sweet potato biscuits in the current issue of Vegetarian Times. I haven't tried it yet, but it sounds absolutely yummy so I thought I'd share.
Sunset Sweet Potato Drop Biscuits
Makes 12 biscuits
1 cup mashed cooked sweet potatoes (2 small baked sweet potatoes)
3 Tbs. vegetable oil
1 Tbs. maple syrup
1 tsp. apple cider vinegar
1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup all-purpose or whole wheat pastry flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. ground nutmeg
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Coat baking sheet with cooking spray.
2. Combine sweet potatoes, oil, syrup, vinegar, and salt in large bowl. Sift flour, baking powder, and nutmeg.
3. Cut dry ingredients into sweet potato mixture with fork until mixture comes together. Stir in 2 to 3 TBS. water, or enough to get dough to hold together.
4. Drop golf ball-size rounds of dough onto prepared baking sheet**. Bake 15 to 17 minutes, or until tops are lightly browned and firm to the touch. Serve warm.
**For a more elegant look, roll out the dough and cut with a 2-inch round cutter.
