Sweet Potato Biscuits

This sweet potato biscuits recipe was in my mother's recipe box from years ago. I don't remember her making these but they sound delicious! (Or maybe because I was such a picky eater when I was a kid I wouldn't even consider trying them!)

Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • Dash of Cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 1 cup boiled peeled, mashed sweet potatoes
  • 2/3 cup buttermilk

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
  2. Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, brown sugar and cinnamon and set aside.
  3. Using a medium-size bowl, beat melted butter into the sweet potatoes. Add dry ingredients, stirring in a little at a time, alternating with buttermilk. Mix just well enough to moisten all ingredients. Form into a ball and turn out onto lightly floured board. Lightly pat top side with flour as well, since it is rather sticky batter.
  4. Roll out to 1/2 to 3/4 -inch thickness with floured rolling pin. Cut with a floured biscuit cutter. Bake 20 to 25 minutes.

Notes

Makes 12 to 14 biscuits.
