Delicious Sweet Potato Biscuits Recipe for All Occasions

Ingredients

Servings:
8
  • 1 cup mashed sweet potatoes (Cooked and cooled)
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup sugar (Granulated)
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (Cold and cubed)
  • 1 cup milk (Whole or buttermilk)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 egg beaten (For egg wash)

Instructions

8 steps

  1. Preheat the oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even baking.
  2. Mix dry ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.

    Sifting the flour can help achieve a lighter biscuit.
  3. Incorporate butter

    Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry mixture and mix until crumbly.

    Use a pastry cutter or your fingers for best results.
  4. Add sweet potatoes

    Stir in the mashed sweet potatoes until combined.

    Make sure the sweet potatoes are well-mixed for even flavor.
  5. Incorporate milk

    Gradually add the milk and vanilla extract, mixing gently until a dough forms.

    Do not overmix; a little flour on your hands can help.
  6. Shape biscuits

    Turn the dough onto a floured surface and roll out to 1-inch thickness. Cut into rounds.

    Use a sharp cutter for clean edges.
  7. Prepare for baking

    Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush with beaten egg if desired.

    Spacing them apart allows for even rising.
  8. Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.

    Keep an eye on them to avoid overbaking.
