Sweet Potato Biscuits
The taste of fall makes this traditional biscuit a true winner!
Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cup sweet potatoes cooked and mashed
- ¾ cup + 2 Tbsp buttermilk chill in freezer for 10 minutes- I always use this powdered buttermilk mixture
- 5 Tbsp butter melted
- 2 ¾ cup all purpose flour
- 4 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon OPTIONAL
Instructions
- PreHeat oven to 405 degrees.
- I use a cast iron to bake biscuits, so I let the cast iron preheat with the oven adding 1 tsp of butter to the pan to melt while heating.
- If not using cast iron, line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, add mashed sweet potatoes. Pour melted butter into chilled buttermilk and stir with fork to combine. Pour mixture into sweet potatoes. Whisk to combine.
- Add flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, salt & cinnamon (if using). Stir until just combined.
- Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface. If dough is still slightly sticky, sprinkle flour on top of the dough. Knead the dough 8-10 times, sprinkling with flour as needed.
- Press dough out to about 1-1 ½ inch thick and cut with biscuit cutter.
- Place on parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 17 to 20 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Serve immediately.
- These are incredible with apple butter, cinnamon butter or whipped maple butter 🤤
