Ingredients

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 heaping tablespoons sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup mashed cooked sweet potatoes
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) softened butter
2 to 4 tablespoons milk (depending on the moisture of the potatoes)

Directions

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.

Sift together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. In a separate, large bowl, mix the sweet potatoes and butter. Add the flour mixture to the potato mixture and mix to make a soft dough. Then add milk a tablespoon at a time to mixture and continue to cut in. Turn the dough out onto a floured board and toss lightly until the outside of the dough looks smooth. Roll the dough out to 1/2-inch thick and cut with a biscuit cutter. Place the biscuits on a greased pan and coat tops with melted butter. Bake for about 15 minutes. (Watch your oven: If the biscuits are browning too fast, lower the temperature.)

Easy and delicious!

This recipe was a snap to prepare for a weeknight meal. The biscuit was crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside with a... delicious buttery, sweet potato flavor. We will definitely be making this again. Read more

Sooo Yummy!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My family loved these biscuits! I flavored my sweet potatoes with cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla while they were boiling and... also added 1 cup to the dough instead of the 3/4 cup called for. They didn't get very tall, but they were light and fluffy inside. I don't really think this recipe was designed for the biscuit to be very tall like a buttermilk biscuit. Mine look just like the ones in the photograph anyway. These are also an easy way to get my kids to eat sweet potatoes without them knowing! I will be making these again and again!Read more

This was my first time making biscuts from scratch. I made them small in two to three bite size. They were a big hit at... thanksgiving dinner. They were delicious. I will definately make them again.Read more
