Sweet potatoes, honey, yum! This recipe is sure to be a new fall favorite for kids of all ages. Best of all, sweet potatoes are packed with vitamins that'll help "health up" any family dinner. It's a winner in my family - even my "picky eater" nephew goes for seconds.

WHAT YOU NEED

1 large sweet potato
2 cups flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup cold butter
1/3 cup honey
1/4 cup milk

HOW TO MAKE IT

1. In a microwave or 450 degree oven, bake the sweet potato until tender. Let cool. Peel, mash, and set aside.

2. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

3. In a large mixing bowl, measure the flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Stir together. Set aside.

4. Cut the butter into 6-7 pieces. Add to flour mix and mix together to form a coarse, crumbly mix.

5. Mix in the sweet potato and honey.

6. Slowly stir in the milk until dough is soft but not sticky.

7. Knead the dough for a minute on a lightly floured surface or on parchment paper.
