INGREDIENTS

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 4 tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp kosher salt
• 6 Tbs cold butter, cubed
• 1 cup sweet potato, cooked and mashed
• ½ cup cold buttermilk

DIRECTIONS

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

• Add the butter and use a fork or pastry blender to cut it into the flour until the butter pieces are about pea-sized.
• Add in the sweet potato and buttermilk and stir to incorporate.
• Dust your work surface with flour and turn out the dough to knead by hand until everything is fully mixed in and the dough is slightly sticky.
• Shape the dough into a rectangle about 1” thick. 
• Use a biscuit cutter or sharp, round cookie cutter to cut out rounds of dough. Combine any scraps to use all the dough you have.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the biscuits on it. 
• Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
• Bake for about 15 to 20 minutes and allow to cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
