Blow Your Socks Off Sweet Potato Biscuits and Coca Cola Glazed Tripp Country Ham - PERFECT for a Labor Day Party or Picnic

Thinly slice the country ham. Slice biscuits and dot with butter and a drizzle of sorghum or honey or nothing. Add a slice of ham. Take a bite and be careful, cause it’s been known to blow your socks off! If you don’t have time to bake the ham, you can buy sliced and packaged country ham, cook in the skillet and use as is; or cook the glaze to thicken in a pan on the stove, and then drizzle over the ham.
Sweet Potato Biscuits
1-1/4 cups All-Purpose Flour
1 Tbsp. Baking Powder
1/2 tsp. Salt
3 Tbsp. Shortening
1 cup Mashed Cooked Sweet Potatoes
1/4 tsp. Ground Cinnamon
1/3 cup sugar
1/8 tsp. Ground Nutmeg
1/4 cup Milk
Into large mixing bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Using pastry blender or two knives, cut shortening into flour mixture until it resembles coarse meal. Blend in Sweet Potatoes and spices. Add milk all at once and stir with fork until mixture comes together. On lightly floured board, knead 10 times.
Roll out on lightly floured surface to 1/2 inch thickness. Cut with biscuit cutter dipped in flour. Arrange on ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 450 degrees F. for 12 minutes or until golden and puffed.
