MAMA'S SWEET POTATO COBBLER 
2 med. sweet potatoes
3 c. water
2 1/4 c. sugar
2 1/2 sticks butter
1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
1 recipe biscuit dough

Peel sweet potatoes and slice 1/8 inch thick. Cover potatoes with water and bring to the boil. Cook until potatoes begin to get tender. In a greased 13x9x2 pan layer half the potatoes and 1 cup cooking liquid. Sprinkle with one cup of the sugar, the nutmeg, and chip one stick of the butter over the potatoes. Roll out biscuit dough thin. Cut into strips and criss cross on top. Bake in a 400 degree oven until crust is done and golden brown. Make another layer with remaining potatoes. Again top with one cup sugar, one stick butter, and criss crossed dough strips. Carefully pour enough cooking liquid over the pie until the liquid slightly covers the top crust. Sprinkle the remaining sugar and chip the remaining butter on top of the crust. Bake again in a 400 degree oven until done and golden brown and bubbly.
