Cherokee Yam Cakes

1 cup mashed yams or sweet potatoes
2 cups sifted flour
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup oil
1/2 cup milk

Sift flour, baking soda, sugar and salt into a bowl. Pour oil and milk
into a measuring cup but do not stir. Add to yams and blend well. Add to
flour mixture and mix lightly with fork until mixture holds together. Turn
dough out onto a floured board and knead gently until smooth (about 12
kneading strokes). Roll dough about 1/4' thick and cut into rounds with
floured biscuit cutter. Place rounds on a baking sheet, and bake at 425º
for 10-20 minutes. Serve hot, or split when cold and toast.
