Makes 16
- 1 1/4 cups whole wheat pastry flour
- 1/2 cup unbleached white flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons reduced-fat margarine
- 1/3 cup apple juice 1 cup well-mashed, cooked sweet
potato
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1/3 cup finely chopped walnuts or pecans
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
In a mixing bowl, sift together the flours, baking powder,
and salt. Work the margarine in with a pastry blender or
the tines of a fork until the mixture resembles a coarse
meal. Add the apple juice, sweet potato, honey, and nuts,
and work them in to form a soft dough.
Turn the dough out onto a well-floured board and knead
in just enough extra flour to make the dough lose its stickiness.
With floured hands, divide the dough into 16 equal parts.
Shape into small balls and arrange on a lightly oiled cookie
sheet, patting them down a bit to flatten. Bake for 12 to
15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center
of one tests clean. Transfer the biscuits to a plate and
serve hot.
