Ingredients
1canGrands Flaky Biscuits
8slicesfrozen sweet potato roundsthawed
1stickbutter
2 1/2cupswater
2cupssugar
2tablespoonslight corn syrup
cinnamon,nutmeg, or gingerwhichever you like best
Instructions
Melt the butter in a 9x13-inch baking pan in a 350-degree oven.
1 stick butter
Divide each biscuit in half by pulling layers apart and pat each side out flat.
1 can Grands Flaky Biscuits
Slice the sweet potato rounds in half and sprinkle with the spices of your choice. I use cinnamon since that is my favorite spice with sweet potatoes.
8 slices frozen sweet potato rounds, cinnamon,nutmeg, or ginger
Place half of 1 sweet potato round (thawed) on the biscuit half.
Fold the biscuit over and seal the edge like a fried pie or turnover.
Place biscuits in the melted butter in the pan.
Stir the water, sugar, and corn syrup together in a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat and allow to simmer until sugar is completely dissolved, still stirring occasionally.
Bake at 350 degrees for 25-35 minutes or until golden brown. The sauce with thicken as the dumplings cool.
Notes
The sweet potato rounds that I bought this time were labeled yam patties. Either one is fine (yams or sweet potatoes) as the taste is the same. If you are not able to find frozen sweet potato patties, you can substitute canned sweet potatoes that you slice into approximately 1/2-inch slices.
