Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

In a medium bowl, using a fork, mix sweet potatoes, milk, sugar, egg, and butter until well combined. In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Using 2 knives, or a pastry cutter, cut shortening into flour mixture. Pour sweet potato mixture into flour mixture and mix until just combined.

Drop mixture by large spoonfuls onto rimmed baking sheets. Bake 15 to 17 minutes, or until golden. Serve warm.
