Sweet Potato Biscuits

In a large bowl combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and nutmeg. Using a pastry blender, cut butter into flour until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a medium bowl combine sweet potato, buttermilk, and orange zest.**

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Add liquid mixture all at once. Using a fork, stir until mixture is moistened.

Knead dough in bowl about 5 times or until dough holds together. Transfer dough to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Roll or pat dough into an 8x8-inch square about 3/4-inch thick. Using a large sharp knife, cut into 16 squares. Separate squares so they are about 1 inch apart.

In a small bowl combine melted butter and paprika. Brush tops of biscuits with butter mixture. Bake in a 425° oven for 15 minutes or until golden and edges appear dry. Serve warm.
