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.
