Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

  • 2 1/2 tsp baking powder

  • 1/2 tsp baking soda

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)

  • 6 tbsp cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes

  • 3/4 cup mashed sweet potato (plain, cooked and cooled)

  • 1/4 cup buttermilk (or milk + 1/2 tsp lemon juice)

  • 2 tbsp honey

For Brushing (Optional):

  • 1 tbsp melted butter

  • 1 tsp honey

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven:

    • Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).

    • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Mix Dry Ingredients:

    • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon (if using).

  3. Cut in Butter:

    • Add cold butter cubes to the flour mixture.

    • Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work it in until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs.

  4. Add Wet Ingredients:

    • In a separate bowl, mix mashed sweet potato, buttermilk, and honey until smooth.

    • Pour into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined—do not overmix.

  5. Shape and Cut:

    • Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface.

    • Pat into a 1-inch thick rectangle and fold it over itself a couple of times to create layers.

    • Roll or pat back out and cut into 2-inch circles using a biscuit cutter or glass.

    • Re-roll scraps and continue cutting.

  6. Bake:

    • Place biscuits on the baking sheet so they’re touching slightly.

    • Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until tops are golden brown.

  7. Brush with Honey Butter (Optional):

    • Mix melted butter and honey.

    • Brush over the warm biscuits right out of the oven.

Notes

  • Use leftover roasted or boiled sweet potatoes—just avoid overly wet mashed potatoes.

  • For dairy-free, use plant-based butter and milk with lemon juice.

  • These freeze beautifully after baking—just reheat in the oven before serving.
