Ingredients (serves 6):
- 1 cup mashed sweet potatoes
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Cooking Tips:
- To make mashed sweet potatoes, simply peel and boil 2-3 medium sweet potatoes until tender, then mash with a fork or potato masher.
- For best results, use cold butter and milk, and handle the dough as little as possible to keep it light and fluffy.
- You can also add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for extra flavor.
Cooking Process:
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. Add the softened butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Stir in the mashed sweet potatoes and milk until a soft dough forms.
5. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead gently for a few seconds.
6. Roll out the dough to about 1/2 inch (1 cm) thickness and cut out biscuits using a round cookie cutter or a glass.
7. Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
8. Serve warm with butter, honey, or your favorite jam.
