Sweet Potato Biscuit (Delight of Georgia boys)

Sweet potato biscuit, the delight of Georgia boys and girls, are considered equally toothsome by northern lads and lassies. The recipe given by a southern cook is as follows: Two cupfuls of flour, one cupful of boiled and mashed sweet potato, one tablespoonful of sugar, one teaspoonful of salt, one tablespoonful of butter, one-quarter teaspoonful of soda, and enough buttermilk to make a soft dough. Roll and cut with a biscuit cutter and bake in a quick oven.
