Ingredients
2 cups mashed sweet potatoes (cooked and cooled)

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted (or plant-based butter for dairy-free)
1/4 cup honey (or maple syrup for a variation)

1/4 cup milk (adjust as needed; use plant-based milk for dairy-free)
Instructions
-
Prepare the Oven and Baking Sheet:
-
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
-
Mix Wet Ingredients:
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, melted butter, and honey. Stir until smooth.
-
-
Combine Dry Ingredients:
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
-
-
Form the Dough:
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently. Add milk one tablespoon at a time if the dough feels too dry, aiming for a soft consistency.
-
-
Roll and Cut Biscuits:
-
On a floured surface, gently knead the dough, roll it out to 1/2-inch thickness, and cut with a biscuit cutter or glass.
-
-
Bake the Biscuits:
-
Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown. Serve warm with honey or butter.
-
Notes
-
Use orange-fleshed sweet potatoes for optimal flavor and moisture.
-
To prevent dense biscuits, avoid over-mixing the dough.
-
For a flakier texture, use cold butter and cut it into the flour mixture.
