These sweet potato biscuits are a perfect addition to any meal, whether it's breakfast, brunch, or dinner. The sweet potatoes add a subtle sweetness and a beautiful orange hue to the biscuits, making them both visually appealing and tasty. They are light, fluffy, and have a buttery texture that melts in your mouth with each bite.

Ingredients

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

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Add the 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, honey, and buttermilk.
  5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
  6. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it comes together.
  7. Roll out the dough to 1-inch thickness and use a biscuit cutter to cut out the biscuits.
  8. Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown.
  9. Serve warm with butter and honey. Enjoy!
