Before this recipe I had never made biscuits. Can you believe that? Why not I wonder?! They’re sooooo yummy! This is a really nice recipe with really buttery and rich flavours. And I love the addition of sweet potato, adding a little sweetness and extra nutrition. These were so easy to make, and after I made them, I realized how much I love biscuits! I see more of them, with lots of flavours, in my future!
Enjoy!
Sweet Potato Biscuits
These Sweet Potato Biscuits are rich, flavourful and are the perfect addition to soups, stews and chilis!
Ingredients
- 1¾ cup flour
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 2½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 6 tbsp chilled butter cut into pieces
- ¾ cup sweet potato puree
- ⅓ cup buttermilk
Instructions
- Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda.
- Using a pastry cutter, cut in the chilled butter, until it looks like coarse meal, with some pea sized butter pieces remaining.
- In a separate bowl, combine the sweet potato puree and buttermilk.
- Then add the sweet potato/buttermilk mixture to the flour.
- Stir with a fork, but don't over mix.
- Then turn the dough out onto a floured surface, and knead into a ball. It is supposed to be lumpy - that's what makes them so buttery and crumbly!
- Then flatten the ball into a disc shape, about 1 inch thick. The disc should be big enough to get 8 biscuits cut out of it.
- Using a biscuit cutter or some other circle shape (like a cup), cut out 8 biscuits. Make sure to use all the dough.
- In a preheated 425 degree oven, bake for 20-25 minutes, rotating the pan half way through baking.

Hi Jo-Anna! I made these last night using pumpkin puree and they were excellent served with black bean chili. They were a total hit with my kids too, I am always happy to get a little extra veg into them. Thanks!
Are you sure the oven temp and time is right? I made these but after 12 minutes at 425 I noticed the oven smoking and the bottoms were burned. I was still able to salvage them and cut the burned bottoms off of the 8 biscuits and they tasted very good.
