Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 1 cup mashed sweet potato
- 0.25 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon honey
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your hands, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, mix together the mashed sweet potato, milk, and honey until well combined.
Pour the sweet potato mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Lightly flour a clean surface and turn the dough out onto it. Gently pat the dough into a rectangle about 1 inch thick.
Using a round biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass, cut out biscuits and place them onto the prepared baking sheet. Gather leftover dough, reshape, and cut out additional biscuits as needed.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on the tops.
Remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with butter, honey, or jam!
