Sweet Potato Biscuits

• 2 cups self-rising flour
• 3 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
• 1/4 cup butter or margarine
• 3 tablespoons butter-flavored shortening
• 1 cup sweet potatoes, mashed
• 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons milk
• 2 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted

Combine first 3 ingredients in a bowl.  Cut in 1/4 cup butter and shortening with a pastry blender until mixture is crumbly.  Add sweet potato and milk, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened.  Turn dough out onto a floured surface; knead 3 or 4 times.

Roll dough to a 1/2-inch thickness; cut with a 2-inch biscuit cutter.  Place biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet.  Brush with melted butter. Bake at 400 degrees for 12 minutes.
