Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 1 cup mashed sweet potato
• 0.25 cup milk
• 1 tablespoon honey

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your hands, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, mix together the mashed sweet potato, milk, and honey until well combined.

Step 5

Pour the sweet potato mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Lightly flour a clean surface and turn the dough out onto it. Gently pat the dough into a rectangle about 1 inch thick.

Step 7

Using a round biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass, cut out biscuits and place them onto the prepared baking sheet. Gather leftover dough, reshape, and cut out additional biscuits as needed.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on the tops.

Step 9

Remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with butter, honey, or jam!
