Grandma's Secret Tip
Grandma's Secret Tip
Grandma used sweet potato biscuit dough to give a twist to all kinds of foods. She rolled it thin and folded squares of it around pie filling for turnovers or shaped it into pizza crust for ham and green onion pizza that couldn’t be beat.
Great Pairings
Country-Style Ham Steak
Since the brown sugar and apricot mixture in this recipe will cover twice as much ham, Grandma often saved money and time by doubling the amount of ham, then she'd use the leftovers to make ham biscuits.
