Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Sweet Potato Biscuits
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F. Roast a large sweet potato for 45–60 minutes until tender.
  2. Let the sweet potato cool, then peel and mash until smooth. Measure out ¾ cup.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Fold in sweet potato and milk until just combined to maintain a soft texture.
  5. Turn the dough onto a floured surface, fold over 4–5 times, then cut into rounds.
  6. Bake at 425°F for 12–15 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Cool slightly before serving with butter, honey, or your favorite toppings.
