Instructions: 1.In a bowl sift together flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder. Add butter to flour and mix until you get a grainy consistency. Add mashed sweet potatoes, pecans and enough buttermilk to make a soft but not sticky dough.

2.Knead the dough on a lightly floured board for 1 minute, then roll out the dough to 1/2 inch thickness. Cut into rounds with a 2-inch cutter or use a shot glass or tulip shaped champagne glass.

3.Place rounds on a lightly greased pan or cookie sheet and bake in a pre-heated 425 degree oven for 15 minutes. Serve hot with homemade jam and butter.
