Recipe for the best flaky and light sweet potato biscuits. Made with buttermilk these easy sweet potato flour biscuits are just as good as grandmas. They are made in one bowl and with only 6 ingredients. They can be baked right away or frozen to bake later. Serve them as a side dish with soups, stews or just by themselves with butter on the side.
Pre-heat the oven to 375 °F (190 °C) degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and kosher salt in a bowl.
Add in the unsalted butter. Using the back of a fork or a dough cutter cut the butter into the flour until butter pieces resemble peas.
Add in the mashed sweet potato. Pour in the buttermilk.
Give it a mix with a wooden spoon. (See note 1)
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead until the dough is fully mixed and slightly sticky.
Shape it into a 1 to 1 ½ inch thick rectangular.
Cut rounds using a biscuit cutter (I used a 2-inch biscuit cutter). Gather the remaining scraps and repeat until all the dough is used.
Transfer the biscuits onto a parchment-lined sheet pan. (See note 2)
Bake for 15 minutes. When done, remove from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes before serving.
