Description

These Sweet Potato Honey Biscuits combine the natural sweetness of sweet potatoes with the richness of honey for a soft, tender, and flavorful treat. Perfect for breakfast, as a side dish, or a snack, they’re easy to make and impossible to resist.


Ingredients

2 cups mashed sweet potatoes (cooked and cooled)

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour for a GF version)

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted (or plant-based butter for dairy-free)

1/4 cup honey (or maple syrup for a variation)

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/4 cup milk (adjust as needed; use plant-based milk for dairy-free)


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Oven and Baking Sheet:

    • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Mix Wet Ingredients:

    • In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, melted butter, and honey. Stir until smooth.

  3. Combine Dry Ingredients:

    • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.
