Ingredients

• 1 cup Sweet potato (cooked and mashed)
• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (cold and cubed)
• 0.5 cups Milk (preferably whole milk)
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground cinnamon (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and cinnamon (if using).

Step 3

Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the cold cubed butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, combine the mashed sweet potato and milk, stirring until smooth and fully blended.

Step 5

Pour the sweet potato mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky.

Step 6

Using two spoons or a cookie scoop, drop heaping spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 7

Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.

Step 8

Remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.

Step 9

Serve warm with butter, honey, or your favorite spreads!
