| Sweet Potato Drop Biscuits |
After a stressful two week hiatus to take care of some family business I am back and ready to cook! I treated myself to a copy of Isa Chandra Moskowitz's new book
Appetite for Reduction: 125 Fast and Filling Low-Fat Vegan Recipes
and the recipes look promising. I've been hearing good things about the Sweet Potato Drop Biscuits and decided to give them a go this afternoon. Actually, I've never made any type of biscuit before and was a little nervous but the instructions seemed very straightforward. It seems I needn't have worried, they came out very tender and moist. They remind me of light and fluffy scones. These particular biscuits contain 1 cup of mashed sweet potato and only 3 tablespoons of oil which I understand is a lot less fat than what is traditionally used. I liked them a lot, the only change I would make would be halving the 1 teaspoon of nutmeg because it was too much for me.
Oh, they do look wonderful. I'm so glad your first batch turned out. I'm not a big nutmeg fan either, at least not if it's the primary flavor. I prefer the other "pumpkin-sweet potato pie spices" such as cinnamon, cloves, ginger, etc.
ReplyDeleteHooray to be at home and cooking again!
Great to have you back, dear Lee! These look oh so yummy.
ReplyDeleteThese look very yummy! You've inspired me to try the recipe in "Everything Vegan" now since "Appetite for Reduction" isn't at my library yet.
