For the dough:

Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Peel, halve, and slice the sweet potatoes into about ¼-inch-wide half circles. Place the potatoes in a medium saucepan and add the water.
- Stir in the sugar, cinnamon, and ginger. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook uncovered until the potatoes are still firm but tender, about 10-12 minutes. Do not drain.
- In another bowl, make the dough by mixing together the flour, cinnamon, and brown sugar. Cut the butter into the flour mixture with a pastry blender or two large dinner forks. Slowly pour the milk into the flour mixture while stirring. Stir until the mixture is combined. The dough will be crumbly and slightly sticky.
- Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Crumble about ⅓ of the dough into the bottom of the baking dish. Remove the potatoes from the pan with a slotted spoon and place them evenly in the baking dish. Measure 1 cup of the cooking liquid and pour it over the potatoes. Crumble the remaining dough over the potatoes and sprinkle the top with about 1 tablespoons of brown sugar.
- Bake for about 40 minutes or until golden brown and the dough is cooked through. Allow to rest for about 10 minutes for the sauce to thicken before serving.
