Ingredients of Simple sweet potato biscuits
- Prepare 2 cups of all purpose flour.
- You need 1 cup of boiled sweet potatoes.
- Prepare 1 tablespoon of baking powder.
- Prepare 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda.
- It’s 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
- Prepare 2 tablespoons of sugar.

Add the flour mixture to the potato mixture and mix to make a soft dough. This allows more of the starches in the sweet potato to transform into complex sugars, making the sweet potato flesh both sweeter and softer. Remove the dough onto a flour dusted surface and dust the top with a little more flour. Sweet potato purée provides hydration while keeping the dough thick and easy to handle, and the biscuits light and moist.
Simple sweet potato biscuits instructions
Add butter and mix using fingers till the mixture becomes crumbly. Spare about 2 tablespoons of butter which will be melted and used at the end..
In a separate bowl, mash the boiled potatoes to a pulp..
Add milk to the mashed potato and mix till it forms a thick consistency..
Mix the potato and milk mixture to the dry ingredients and mix together to form a dough..
Place dough on a floured surface and using a rolling pin, roll until the dough is about 3/4 inch thick. You can split the dough into two before you roll, if you have a small working surface..
Using a biscuit cutter (or the end of a narrow glass like I did lol) cut the dough into rounds. Gather the left over dough and repeat the process again till you use up all the dough..
Place the cut outs on a floured oven pan, or alternatively you can use parchment paper..
Melt the remaining butter and brush the top of the cut outs..
Place the pan in a pre heated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted..
Folding the dough creates layers and structure, for pull-apart biscuits sturdy enough for a breakfast sandwich. Baking on cast iron ensures the biscuits are crisp along the bottom. Place dough on surface sprinkled with Bisquick mix; roll in Bisquick mix to coat. Some sweet potato biscuits include warm spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice or cloves. You can even keep it simple with a dash of pumpkin pie spice.
