Easy Sweet Potato Biscuits Recipe

These sweet potato biscuits are made with mashed sweet potatoes, flour, baking powder, and butter, resulting in a deliciously soft and tender biscuit. The recipe takes about 30 minutes from start to finish and yields about 12 biscuits.

Ingredients

1 cup mashed sweet potatoes (about 1 medium sweet potato)
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup cold butter, cubed
3/4 cup milk
1 tablespoon honey (optional)
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

Prep the Sweet Potatoes: Bake or steam the sweet potato until tender, then mash and let cool slightly.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon if using.
Cut in Butter: Add the cold butter to the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Combine Ingredients: Stir in the mashed sweet potatoes and milk until just combined. Do not overmix.
Shape the Biscuits: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently knead a few times. Pat into a 1-inch thick rectangle and cut out biscuits using a round cutter.
Bake: Place the biscuits on a baking sheet and bake at 425°F (220°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
Serve: Enjoy warm with butter or your favorite toppings.
