Easy Sweet Potato Biscuits Recipe

I have a busy life and I don’t always have time to make homemade hot biscuits everyday. In particular, on busy weekday mornings. These full flavored sweet potato biscuits are well worth the effort and encompass all that we love about fall harvest and the holidays. How do you make Sweet Potato Biscuits? You begin by using a whisk to sift together self rising flour, cinnamon, light brown sugar and salt. Add the dry ingredients to a food processor and pulse until it resembles cornmeal. You can also use your hands or a pastry blender to combine the butter with the flour mixture. In a separate bowl, whisk together cream and pureed sweet potato then add it to the dry ingredients. Turn out onto a floured surface then cut into desired size portions and bake.

How to Make the BEST Sweet Potato Biscuits

Ingredients you’ll need to make homemade Sweet Potato Biscuits: Self rising flour, mashed sweet potato, ground cinnamon, salt, nutmeg, heavy cream and cold butter.
Kitchen tools you’ll need: Two medium bowls, whisk, pastry blender, biscuit cutter, measuring cups and spoons and sheet pan for baking.
You can use canned sweet potatoes and puree them yourself or make a sweet potato for the dough.
To bake your own sweet potato: Preheat the oven to 375°F. Clean and pat dry a medium-large sweet potato. Pierce 2-3 times with a fork. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a knife glides in easily when inserted into the thickest portion. Cool completely then peel and puree.
You can make these biscuits any size you like. A 2 1/2 – 3 inch biscuit cutter is what I would consider a full size biscuit. These make a fantastic appetizer, too cut into one inch rounds. Depending on the size of the biscuits, the yield will vary.
When turning the dough out onto a floured surface, turn it only a couple of times to coat with flour. Biscuit dough isn’t like a yeast dough in that it requires kneading. In fact, overworking the dough will result in dry tough biscuits.
Sweet Potato Biscuits are best made and eaten while fresh. You can store them chilled or at room temperature for up to 2 days.
Reheat in single servings in the microwave.
