Tips:

  • Use fresh sweet potatoes: Fresh sweet potatoes will give your biscuits the best flavor and texture. If you can't find fresh sweet potatoes, you can use frozen or canned sweet potatoes, but be sure to thaw or drain them before using.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make your biscuits tough. Mix the dough just until it comes together, then stop.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the biscuits rise evenly and give them a flaky texture. Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
  • Bake the biscuits at a high temperature: Baking the biscuits at a high temperature will help them rise quickly and give them a crispy crust. Bake the biscuits at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
  • Serve the biscuits warm: Sweet potato biscuits are best served warm out of the oven. You can also reheat them in a toaster oven or microwave.

Conclusion:

Sweet potato biscuits are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are perfect for a quick snack or a hearty meal.
