How to Make Homemade Sweet Potato Biscuits

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons baking powder, and 1 teaspoon salt.
  3. Cut in 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. In a separate bowl, mash 1 cup cooked sweet potato until smooth. Stir in 1/2 cup buttermilk until well combined.
  5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead 3-4 times.
  7. Pat or roll the dough to 1/2-inch thickness. Use a 3-inch biscuit cutter or a knife to cut out biscuits.
  8. Place biscuits on a lightly greased baking sheet.
  9. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
