3/4 cup sweet potatoes, cooked & mashed
1/4 cup butter, melted
4 Tbsp sugar
1 1/2 tsp molasses
3/4 cup flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 /2 Tbsp baking powder

Beat the sweet potatoes, butter, sugar, and molasses at medium speed until well blended.
Sift the flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together.
Add the sweet potato mixture and buttermilk to the sifted ingredients.
Mix until the flour is just moistened.  Overmixing will prevent the biscuits from properly rising.

Knead 6 to 8 times.
Roll out the dough to 1/2 inch thickness.
Cut out biscuits with a greased biscuit cutter or a greased glass.
Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
