Ingredients

• 1 cup mashed sweet potatoes
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup buttermilk
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
3. Add the cold cubed butter to the flour mixture and cut it in using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. In a separate bowl, mix together the mashed sweet potatoes, granulated sugar, buttermilk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
5. Add the sweet potato mixture to the flour mixture and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently a few times to bring it together.
7. Roll out the dough to about 1/2 inch thickness. Use a biscuit cutter to cut out round biscuits and transfer them to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
8. Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.
9. Remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with butter or your favorite jam.
