How to Make Sweet Simple Sweet Potato Biscuits

Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
Cut in 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter (or vegan margarine) using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in 1 cup cooked and mashed sweet potato.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together 3/4 cup milk (or 1/3 cup prepared soy milk alternative – see note below) and 1 large egg (or flax egg for vegan option).
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat to 1/2-inch thickness. Avoid kneading.
Use a 2-inch biscuit cutter or a round glass to cut out biscuits. Place them onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch between each biscuit.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are lightly golden brown.
