Ingredients

• 1 cup (mashed, cooked) Sweet potato
• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 6 tablespoons (cold, cubed) Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Whole milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 3 tablespoons (for topping) Light brown sugar
• 3 tablespoons (for topping) Granulated sugar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt.

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

In a separate medium bowl, mix the mashed sweet potato, whole milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 5

Gradually add the sweet potato mixture to the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky.

Step 6

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Use a 2-inch biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out biscuits, re-rolling the scraps as necessary.

Step 7

Place the biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each biscuit.

Step 8

In a small bowl, combine the light brown sugar and granulated sugar for the topping. Sprinkle this mixture generously over the tops of the biscuits.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 13-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and puffed.

Step 10

Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Serve warm and enjoy!
