Sweet Potato Biscuits Recipe
Report
Recipe for the best flaky and light sweet potato biscuits. Made with buttermilk these easy sweet potato flour biscuits are just as good as grandmas. They are made in one bowl and with only 6 ingredients. They can be baked right away or frozen to bake later. Serve them as a side dish with soups, stews or just by themselves with butter on the side.

Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 375 F (190 C) degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and kosher salt in a bowl.
- Add in the unsalted butter. Using the back of a fork or a dough cutter cut the butter into the flour until butter pieces resemble peas.
- Add in the mashed sweet potato. Pour in the buttermilk.
- Give it a mix with a wooden spoon. *1
- Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Mix until the dough is fully mixed and slightly sticky.
- Shape it into a 1 to 1 ½ inch thick rectangular.
- Cut rounds using a biscuit cutter (I used a 2-inch biscuit cutter). Gather the remaining scraps and repeat until all the dough is used.
- Transfer the biscuits onto a parchment-lined sheet pan.*
- Bake for 15 minutes. Let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- *1- At this stage, it might feel like you need more liquid but resist the urge to add in more. Believe me, it will come together beautifully as you continue to mix. If it is hard to mix in the bowl, you can transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and shape it on there using your hands. *2- If you have time, I highly recommend covering the biscuits with stretch film and let them cool in the fridge for 30 minutes.
