Sweet Potatoe Biscuits- Recipe Box #22

Not sure where this lovely box came from, but it contains ALL SORTS of interesting bits and pieces of the life of the person who previously owned it.  Here's the box:

It contains a letter written by a Colonel Patrick, dated January 31st, 1943, asking for a witness to come forward to give information about some sort of crime...

It contains a knitting pattern for "Swivel Socks"...

There's a letter to Marge and John (I'm assuming Marge is the original owner of the box) from friends with a recipe for stew, dated March 16th, 1943...

There's a business card from New York...

It includes directions to "Paper a Wall"...

It contains a vaccination certificate for John Trapani from June 13th, 1947...

There's ordering information for some fun gingerbread men cookie cutters...

There weren't many original recipes in the box, but I did find one that looks tasty for Sweet Potatoe Biscuits.  Here's the original:

Here's the recipe:

Sweet Potatoe Biscuits

1 c. flour

1 c. sw. potatoe cooked

3 t. baking powder

4 TB fat

1 t. salt

2 t. sugar

1/2 c. milk

Mix & sift dry ingr.  Cut in fat, put in milk and mashed sw. potatoe.  Roll on board.  Cut in biscuits form.  Bake in 450 degree oven.

No baking time given.  Most likely 10-12 minutes, but I'll leave that up to you!

Enjoy!
