Sweet Potato Buttermilk Biscuits with Honey Cinnamon Butter
Sweet Potato Biscuits are slightly sweetened biscuits with sweet potato and spices served with honey cinnamon butter.
Servings: 16 2 inch biscuits
Ingredients
- yield: 16 2-inch biscuits
- Dice and chill butter before mixing with flour. Chunks of butter remaining in the dough will create flaky biscuits.
- 2 cups self-rising flour sifted (I use White Lily)
- 1/2 cup butter diced and chilled (one stick)
- 1 cup sweet potato cooked, mashed and cooled (approximately 2 small or one medium)
- 1/3 cup buttermilk
Instructions
- Combine flour and butter by mixing with your hands until it resembles course cornmeal.
- Mix sweet potatoes into dough.
- Add buttermilk and mix well.
- Turn out dough onto a floured surface. Sprinkle flour on top. Knead 10 to 12 times. Roll to 1/2 inches thick. Cut with a 2-inch biscuit cutter (or cup or glass or jar, whatever you can get your hands on).
- Place biscuits, once inch apart on a baking sheet that’s been prepared by greasing or covering with a baking mat. Brush tops of biscuits with oil.
- Bake at 450 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes or until tops are golden brown.
