Instructions
- Prep. Preheat oven to 425º F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Make the sweet potato biscuit dough. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Cut the butter into chunks and add to the flour mixture. Cut into the flour mixture with a pastry blender or with a fork until the butter resembles coarse crumbs in the flour mixture. Add the sweet potato and slowly add enough of the milk to make a soft dough.
- Cut out the biscuits. Turn the sweet potato biscuit dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat the dough into a rectangle. Fold each of the edges of the dough into the center and again, gently pat into a rectangle about 1/2-inch thick. Cut the dough with a floured, sharp metal cutter or bench knife. Place the cut biscuits on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the sweet potato biscuits lightly with melted butter.
- Bake the biscuits. Place into hot oven and bake for 10-12 minutes. Serve hot.
