Sweet Potato Biscuits

By Caroline, March 24, 2010

I don’t really have much to say today. I think it’s because spring is here, which in LA  feels like the heat of summer. There’s a thick heat over everything and I can’t help but feeling hazy. I don’t want to do anything but sit outside and drink lemonade. My preference is to do this by the beach, but since that would require the extreme effort of driving, parking, and then walking to the ocean, I’ll accept my apartment’s little porch as an alternative.

So…that’s my plan for a while. Sitting in the sun, and drinking lemonade. Oh yeah, and eating these biscuits. I’m not going to tell you how many I’ve already eaten. Cause that would be really embarrassing. Let’s just say it was more than two. A lot more. That’s all I’m gonna tell you.

Okay, I’m gonna go now. I’ve used up all the energy I have for today, and my glass of lemonade is looking a little lonely. Just promise me that if it feels like spring where you are, you’ll make these biscuits, and then spend quality time with them and some lemonade.

It’s a sage-filled Thanksgiving here at A Cozy Kitchen! I swear, Adrianna and I did not plan on both making dishes that include sage, but hey, if it ain’t broke don’t fix it, right?

It evolved a bit over the years, first being topped with toasted mini marshmallows, and eventually progressing to a candied nut topping. It didn’t matter to me what you topped it with though, only that sweet potatoes were about to be consumed.

Sweet Potato Scones

For the past few weeks, everything I’ve made has been “fall” food.  First there was this, and then these…and then this.  I’m guessing that autumn feels pretty appreciated by me…or totally exploited.  Either way, I’m not done with fall.  I have more up my sleeve. So fall, forgive me, because I’m going to use you as long as I can. Everyone, please meet my new food crush: Sweet Potato Scones.

Don’t scones make you feel classy?! I’ve always associated them with High Tea…and wearing fancy white gloves, and maybe, even being snooty enough to point my pinky straight in the air as I sip tea.  I know, I know, I think this might just be my Jane Austen obsession coming into play, but whatever.
