Sweet Potato Biscuits
Makes about 16 biscuits
2 sweet potatoes
2 cups flour
2 1/2 Tbsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
3 Tbsp. firmly packed brown sugar
1 tsp. ground ginger
1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
1/2 cup butter, melted
2/3 cup buttermilk
Organic cane sugar, optional
Pierce sweet potatoes and microwave until very soft, about 6 minutes. Peel and mash while hot.
Combine the dry ingredients and set aside. In a mixing bowl, beat the butter into the sweet potatoes. Add the flour mixture and then the buttermilk. Don’t over mix.
The dough will be tacky. Pat down the dough to 1/2” on a floured board and cut out approx. 2” circles with a cookie cutter or jar lid. Sprinkle with sugar, if using.
Place on a greased cookie sheet; bake at 375 for 20 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve with honey.
