How to Make Sweet Potato Drop Biscuits

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a food processor, sift together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Pulse to combine dry ingredients.
  4. Add 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes, and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Turn the crumb mixture into a large mixing bowl.
  6. In the food processor, combine 2 medium baked sweet potatoes (about 1 1/2 cups mashed), 1/2 cup plain yogurt, and 2 tablespoons sugar or agave nectar. Process until smooth.
  7. Add the sweet potato mixture to the flour mixture and stir gently until just combined and a dough forms. Do not overmix.
  8. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  9. Using a 1/4 cup cookie scoop or measuring cup, drop uniform mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheets. (Makes approximately 12 medium or 24 small biscuits).
  10. Bake for 20-25 minutes for medium biscuits, or 15-20 minutes for small biscuits, until golden brown and set.
  11. Serve immediately. Reheat for 5 minutes at 400°F (200°C) if desired.
  12. Note: For baking whole sweet potatoes, bake at 375°F (190°C) for 1 hour, or until tender.
