BROWN SUGAR BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet, or use parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt and cream of tartar. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Mix in milk and vanilla. Knead briefly on a floured surface. Roll out into a large rectangle, 1/2 inch thick. Spread softened butter onto surface of dough. Mix together brown sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle evenly over butter. Roll tightly, and cut into 12 equal slices. Place on prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown.

SWEET CREAM BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees
• In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Make a well in the middle of the bowl (a hole) and pour in the heavy cream while using your hand to begin to mix in the dry ingredients with the cream.
• The dough should be somewhat sticky and you now want to turn the dough to a floured surface and knead the dough about 8 times. Use a floured rolling pin and roll out the dough to a ½ inch thickness. With a biscuit cutter, begin to cut out the biscuits. You can place them on a greased cookie sheet or a round 9 inch pan. Collect the scraps and repeat this process until all the dough is used.
• Brush the biscuits with some cream and sprinkle with sugar. Place in the oven for 12-15 minutes. Remove from oven once finished and serve.

• Combine milk, sweet potato and sour cream in small bowl; blend well. Add to flour mixture all at once, stirring just until moistened (if dough is too dry, add additional milk 1 teaspoon at a time, until dry ingredients are moistened). Drop dough by 1/4 cupfuls onto prepared cookie sheet. Sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons brown sugar.
• Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until biscuits are golden brown. Immediately remove from cookie sheet. Serve warm.
