Delight in these fluffy sweet potato biscuits, perfect for any meal!
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1.67 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cups cold unsalted butter cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 cups sweet potato purée
- 0.5 cups cold buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon melted butter for brushing biscuits
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Use a pastry cutter to blend in the cold butter until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the sweet potato purée and buttermilk. Add this mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface, knead it 3-4 times, then pat or roll it out to a 1-inch thickness. Cut out biscuits using a floured 3-inch biscuit cutter.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown.
- Melt the remaining butter and brush it over the warm biscuits before serving.
Notes
To make sweet potato purée, simply cook and mash sweet potatoes until smooth. Adjust the consistency of the dough by adding more buttermilk or flour as needed for the perfect texture.
