Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 0.75 cups mashed sweet potatoes (about 1 medium sweet potato)
• 0.25 cups whole milk
• 2 tablespoons honey

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 flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.

Step 3

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

Step 4

In a separate small bowl, mix the mashed sweet potatoes, milk, and honey until smooth and well combined.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky.

Step 6

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently pat it into a rectangle about 1 inch thick. Use a round biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass to cut out biscuits.

Step 7

Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about an inch of space between them.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Serve warm with additional honey or butter, if desired.
