Ingredients
To create these delightful biscuits, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 1 cup cooked and mashed sweet potatoes
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
Instructions
Follow these simple steps to make your own batch of sweet potato biscuits:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add the cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to blend the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In another bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, milk, and honey (if using). Mix until well combined.
- Pour the sweet potato mixture into the flour mixture. Stir gently until just combined; be careful not to overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Pat the dough into a rectangle about 1 inch thick.
- Use a biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown on the top.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
These sweet potato biscuits are best served warm with a pat of butter or a drizzle of honey. Enjoy them fresh out of the oven as a delightful treat that brings warmth and comfort to any occasion.
