Lisa's Sweet Potato Biscuits

 



I really love my truck! I've had it for a couple of years now and we're very comfortable with each other. :)

It has a great air conditioner...
very important...
I am a Southern Girl and 
I do no like to "glisten" at all....

***WARNING***THE NEXT IMAGE BELOW MAY BE DISTURBING TO MOST READERS---
AND MOST IMPORTANTLY TO ME....

Had to post this most horrible picture of me at the Lake 
to really have you understand my intolerance 
to the Florida heat...

I'm really not covered up with that quilt...

that would be silly...

that is a frozen ice pack on my head....

I was holding another one on my lap...

I did not have to do anything but walk from the truck 
and sit in the chair...

I then proceeded to melt...

I promised I would go and not whine...

the mechanic states even if I didn't say anything, 

this picture of me is doing a lot of whining...
just saying

Ok, I digress....
back to the  truck...

It has a great heater in the winter....
so that I'm not whiny and seeing my breath 
on my way to work...

Yes, sometimes even extreme cold can 
also bring out my whinyness... 

I think I have a "Goldilocks complex"--
everything has to be "just right"...
wow--
and people put up with me...
go figure!
 

 
It has a back seat to accommodate my grand babies...

It has a back window that goes up and down electronically that the grand babies love to climb through into the bed of the truck to play...

And Ford...bless their hearts, installed a great "purse hanger" on the side for me...:)

Well, this is what I use it for, 
and it has come in handy many, many times!

The mechanic used it to tie things down 
when I was moving stuff the other day...

I was so glad he found a use for those purse hangers too...

he just sighs when I hang my purse and grocery sacks there...
not sure why... :)

Sharing with you today my Sweet Potato Biscuit creation... 
it's delicious! 

Lisa's Sweet Potato Biscuits

1 pkg frozen biscuits
1 can Bruce's Baked Sweet Poatoes
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 TBSP brown sugar
1/2 stick butter
  1/2 cup chopped pecans

On wax paper, lay 12 of the frozen biscuits and let them thaw.  

Sprinkle flour over them and 
mash them together to form a rectangle.  

Melt the 1/2 stick of butter.  

Mix butter with the can of sweet potatoes, 
brown sugar and cinnamon.   

Spread this mixture over the biscuit rectangle.  
Sprinkle the pecans on next.  
Roll dough up in jelly-roll fashion.  
Cut the roll into 1 inch slices and place in iron skillet or baking pan, sprayed with cooking spray.  
Bake 375 degrees 20-25 minutes.  

 Glaze:

Meanwhile, make glaze with 1/2 cup confectioner's sugar,

 2 TBSP milk, and 1 tsp vanilla.  

Whisk until smooth and pour over hot biscuits.  

YUM!!    

The cast of characters:

 

The pecans that didn't make the group picture...

Lay the biscuits out on the wax paper to thaw...

When thawed, sprinkle with flour...

Now mush them together to form a rectangle...

the fun part...

Combine the potatoes, melted butter,

brown sugar and cinnamon....

Spread over the biscuits...

Top with the chopped pecans...

This is tricky, messy part...rolling it all up...

It won't be pretty, but it will be ok...

Cut the roll into 1 inch slices...

and place in a skillet or baking pan..

Again, messy--but the end result will be just fine....trust me...

Bake 375 degrees about 25- 30 minutes until nice and brown on the edges. 

Mix the glaze ingredients and pour over the biscuits while hot...

So yummy served with a side of bacon or sausage!!
