Ingredients
Scale
- For the Biscuits:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1 cup mashed sweet potatoes (about 1 medium sweet potato)
- 1/4 cup milk
- For the Cinnamon Butter:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the mashed sweet potatoes and milk until just combined.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it comes together.
- Roll out the dough to about 1-inch thickness and cut out biscuits using a round cutter.
- Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown.
- While the biscuits are baking, prepare the cinnamon butter by mixing all ingredients in a bowl until smooth.
- Once the biscuits are done, let them cool slightly before serving with the cinnamon butter.
Notes
- Make-ahead: You can prepare the dough and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours before baking.
- Storage: Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- Substitutions: For a dairy-free version, use coconut oil instead of butter and almond milk instead of regular milk.
