Fluffy Southern Sweet Potato Biscuits with Honey Butter

To make these fluffy biscuits, start with sweet potatoes. You need one cup of mashed sweet potato. Cook them first, then let them cool. This mash adds flavor and moisture.

Next, gather your dry ingredients. In a large bowl, mix two cups of all-purpose flour, one tablespoon baking powder, one-half teaspoon baking soda, and one-half teaspoon salt. Add a little warmth with one-quarter teaspoon ground cinnamon. This spice pairs so well with sweet potatoes.

Now, let’s add the butter. Take one-quarter cup of unsalted butter, cold and cubed. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers. Work the butter into the flour mixture until it looks like coarse crumbs. This step is key for flaky biscuits.

In another bowl, combine the cooled sweet potato, one-third cup of buttermilk, and one tablespoon of honey. Mix until smooth. Then, gently fold this into the flour mix. Be careful not to overwork it. You want a soft dough that holds together.

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Pat it into a rectangle, about one inch thick. Use a round cutter or a glass to cut out the biscuits. You can re-roll the scraps, but do it gently.

Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Keep them close together for softer edges. Bake them in a preheated oven at 425°F for 15-18 minutes until they turn golden on top.

While they bake, prepare the honey butter. Mix one-quarter cup of softened unsalted butter with two tablespoons of honey. Stir until smooth and creamy.

When the biscuits come out of the oven, let them cool slightly. Serve warm with the honey butter. For a lovely touch, drizzle some extra honey on top. Enjoy these delightful treats!
