Sweet Potato Biscuits
Slightly sweet with a subtle touch of cinnamon, these Sweet Potato Biscuits will be the star of your table.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- ¼ cup sugar
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 4 Tablespoons butter frozen for at least 2 hours
- 1 cup cooked, mashed sweet potatoes (about 1 large sweet potato) processed in food processor or mashed with potato masher
- ½ cup milk
Instructions
- Combine flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt and sugar in a bowl.
- Grate butter into dry ingredients, tossing as you go.
- Add sweet potatoes and milk, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened.
- Turn dough onto lightly floured surface, kneading 4 or 5 times.
- Roll dough to ½ inch thickness; cut with 2-2.5 inch biscuit cutter.
- Place on lightly greased baking sheet or parchment paper.
- Bake at 400 degrees for 14-15 minutes in traditional oven or at 350 in convection oven for 12-13 minutes, or until lightly browned.
- Brush with melted butter, if desired.
Notes
The yield will depend on the size of your biscuit cutter. I got 18 with a 2 inch cutter, but you'll only get 12-14 if you use a 2.5 cutter.
