OREGON: I found this on the inside of a box of Tillamook unsweetened butter. And then I found this instructional video courtesy of Alex Town of Pine State Biscuits in Portland, OR.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees

STEP 1: Mix dry ingredients

• 1-3/4 all purpose flour
• 2 Tbsp brown sugar
• 2-1/2 tsp baking POWDER
• 1/2 tsp baking SODA
• 1 tsp salt

1. Measure dry ingredients into a medium bowl
2. Whisk to combine

STEP 2: Add butter

• 6 Tbsp unsalted butter (very cold)

1. Grate butter over the bowl. Do just a little at at time, stopping to mix it in so the grated pieces are separate and coated with flour, before adding more more.

STEP 3: Mix wet ingredients

• 3/4 cup mashed sweet potatoes (peel, roast and mash your own; canned would be too wet.)
• 1/4 cup orange juice
• 1/4 cup plain yoghurt

1. Add wet ingredients to a large bowl
2. Whisk well to combine

STEP 4: Make dough

1. Add the dry ingredients and incorporate. You don’t want to overmix it, because you want the separate pieces of butter

STEP 5: Shape biscuits

1. Dust countertop with flour
2. Place dough on top, dust with flour, and press into a rectangle shape.
3. Fold into three, then roll into a 1″ thickness
4. Loosen it from the countertop so it’s not stuck down
5. Cut into 1/2″ to 1″ rounds and place on baking sheet. It’s good to put them about 1/2″ apart, so they don’t lean. And a real cookie cutter works better than a glass; the sharp edges help them to rise high.
6. Bake 8 minutes, rotate, and bake 5~7 minutes more.
