    Fall Sweet Potato Biscuits

    Sweet Potato Biscuits


    Tip:  These biscuits won’t rise much. The acid in the buttermilk helps, but a light touch is needed while

    mixing, kneading, and rolling out these biscuits. Less is more if you want tender, flaky biscuits.  And these are definitely worth the effort!

    Ingredients:

    • 2 C all-purpose flour
    • 1 TBSP baking powder
    • 2 tsp brown sugar
    • 1/2 tsp salt
    • 1/4 tsp baking soda
    • 3/4 C buttermilk
    • 1 C baked, mashed sweet potato (1 medium potato)
    • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter (1 stick), frozen
    • Heavy cream, for brushing the tops

    Preparation:

    • Lightly grease a 13×9 glass baking dish. Heat the oven to 400°F.
    • Combine all dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl and set aside.
    • In a separate large bowl, mix together milk and mashed sweet potato until evenly combined.
    • Grate frozen butter through the large holes of a box grater and toss with dry ingredients until butter is coated. Add milk mixture and mix lightly until dough forms a shaggy mass.
    • Turn out mixture onto a floured surface and knead just until it comes together. (The dough will not be smooth.)
    • Pat into a circle and use a floured rolling pin to roll dough to a thickness of about 3/4 inch. Using a biscuit cutter, cookie cutter, or glass, cut the dough into rounds (do not twist). Gather leftover dough into a circle, reroll, and cut until you have used all of the dough.
    • Place the biscuits in the dish with the edges touching the sides and/or other biscuits, brush tops with heavy cream, and bake 12 to 15 minutes or until the bottoms are golden brown.

    Serving:

    These are delicious for breakfast or as a side for supper. Split in two and stuff with ham or

    breakfast sausage for a sandwich that’s great for lunch or breakfast.
