Sweet Potato Biscuits
Let's bake some soft, fluffy sweet potato biscuits! They are full of warm, yummy flavor and are so easy to make. They are the perfect treat for any meal of the day.
Ingredients
- 1 ⅔ cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup cold unsalted butter, cut into ½-inch pieces
- 1 cup sweet potato purée
- ½ cup cold buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
Instructions
- Get Your Oven Ready: Turn your oven on to 425°F. Put some parchment paper on a baking sheet so the biscuits don't stick.
- Mix the Dry Stuff: In a big bowl, stir the 1 ⅔ cups all-purpose flour, 3 tablespoons light brown sugar, 1 tablespoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt all together.
- Cut in the Butter: Add your ½ cup of cold, unsalted butter to the bowl. Use a pastry cutter to mix it in until you have little crumbs.
- Add the Wet Stuff: In a small bowl, mix the 1 cup sweet potato purée and ½ cup cold buttermilk. Pour this into your flour mix and stir gently.
- Cut and Bake: Put the dough on a floured table. Pat it until it is 1-inch thick. Cut out circles and bake for 18-20 minutes.
- Add Some Shine: When the biscuits are warm, brush the tops with 1 tablespoon of melted butter. Then, get ready to ENJOY!!!
Notes
- Make sure your butter and buttermilk are super cold for the best, flakiest biscuits.
- Be careful not to mix the dough too much, or your biscuits might get tough.
- If you use sweet potato from a can, pat it dry with a paper towel first.
- Leave a little space between your biscuits on the pan so they can rise up nice and tall.
- Keep leftover biscuits in a container with a lid so they stay yummy for a few days.
