Ingredients
- 2 cups self-rising flour
- 2 tablespoon firmly packed brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 1/4 cup sweet potatoes cooked, cooled and mashed
- 6 tablespoons butter melted and cooled
- 1/4 cup cold buttermilk
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 350° and spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and cinnamon.
- In a separate bowl combine the mashed sweet potatoes, melted butter and buttermilk.
- Make a well in the flour and pour the sweet potatoes in the middle. Stir until combined.
- Flour a surface lightly and pour the biscuits out. Press them out and then fold the dough over and press out to ⅓ to ½ inch thick. Use a biscuit cutter or a cup to cut out biscuits.
- Place the biscuits on the prepared pan and place in the oven for 10 minutes. (They don’t need to brown to be done.)
- Remove and serve with chili or honey butter.
Notes
- If you want super flaky biscuits, press the dough out, then fold over and press out and fold over again before cutting out the biscuits.
- For thicker biscuits, roll the dough out ½ inch thick before cutting.
- These biscuits are delicious when served with honey butter. Combine ¼ cup softened butter, ¼ cup honey, and some orange zest (optional).
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- May be frozen for up to 3 months.
