Ingredients:  
2 sweet potatoes or yams (about 1 pound)
3/4 cup milk
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup shortening
2 tablespoons butter, melted
Directions:
Directions:
Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F. Using a fork, prick the sweet potato skins in several places. Place them on the oven rack and bake until tender, about 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and, as soon as they are cool enough to handle, peel the sweet potatoes. Place them in a bow and mash with a potato masher or fork or pass them through a food mill placed over bowl Stir in the milk, mixing well. In another bowl stir together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the shortening and cut in with a pastry blender, two knives, or your fingers until the mixture looks mealy. Stir in the sweet potato mixture and mix well to form soft dough. Turn the dough out onto a floured work surface and pat out 3/4 inch thick. To keep the moist dough from sticking, sprinkle it with flour and dust a biscuit cutter or glass 2 inches in diameter with flour before cutting. Cut out rounds and place on a lightly greased baking sheet. Brush with melted butter, and bake until lightly browned, about 25 minutes. Serve hot with fried chicken, salmon patties or ham.
