How to Make Sweet Potato Biscuits

I absolutely love sweet potatoes and these biscuits have such a great flavor! I love to bake these on a cool day in autumn.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 4 cups flour
• 2 Tbsp. baking powder
• 2 tsp. salt
• 1 cup butter
• 1 cup cooked mashed sweet potato
• 3/4 to 1 cup buttermilk
• Biscuit Cutter
• Pastry Blender

1. Mix together the flour, baking powder, and the salt, preferably with a whisk.

2. With a pastry blender or 2 sharp knives, mix in the butter until crumbly.

3. In a separate bowl, stir together the sweet potato and the buttermilk. Then add to the dry ingredients, stirring until moistened.

4. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead until smooth and elastic, about 4-6 times.

5. Roll the dough to 1/2 inch thickness. Cut the dough with a biscuit cutter and place the biscuits on a lightly greased baking sheet.

6. Bake at 425 degrees for 10-15 minutes or until the biscuits are a golden brown.

Tips & Warnings

• When you cut out the biscuits, never twist the biscuit cutter. This will seal the sides of the biscuit and prevent it from rising and being fluffy!
