SWEET POTATO BISCUITS 

1 1/4 cups Whole wheat flour
      1/2   cup Unbleached white flour
      2    teaspoons Baking powder
      1/2  teaspoon Salt
      3   tablespoons Margarine
      1/3  cup Apple juice

      3  tablespoons Honey
      1/3    cup Finely chopped walnuts or, - pecans

Preheat oven to 425F.
In a mixing bowl, sift together the flours, baking powder & salt. Work in the margarine till
the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Add apple juice, potato, honey & nuts & work till
it resembles a soft dough. Turn dough out onto a well-floured board & knead enough extra flour to make the dough lose its stickiness. With floured hands, divide dough into 16 equal parts. Shape into small balls & arrange on a lightly oiled cookie sheet, patting them down a bit to flatten them.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes
