Time 1h20m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

½ cup unsalted butter, softened
2 tablespoons honey
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon kosher salt
⅛ teaspoon cayenne
1 lb sweet potato, peeled and cubed
2 ½ cups all purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 ½ tablespoons granulated sugar
1 ½ tablespoons dark brown sugar
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
½ teaspoon baking soda
2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed
⅓ cup buttermilk, plus 2 tablespoons
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Steps:

  • Make the spicy honey butter: Place the butter in a large bowl. Beat with an electric hand mixer on low speed for about 2 minutes, or until smooth. Increase the speed to medium and add the honey, vanilla, cinnamon, salt, and cayenne and beat until well combined, about 2 minutes.
  • Spoon the butter onto a piece of parchment paper or plastic wrap. Roll into a log and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. The butter will keep in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
  • Make the biscuits: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Bring a medium pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add the sweet potatoes to the boiling water and cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain, then mash with a fork or potato masher until smooth. Let cool completely.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, salt, baking soda, and baking powder.
  • Add the butter to the flour mixture and toss to coat. Using your hands or 2 forks, work the butter into the flour until it resembles a coarse meal.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together ¾ cup (255 G) of the mashed sweet potatoes and the buttermilk.
  • Add to the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix with a fork to combine. Knead the mixture with your hands until it comes together in a shaggy dough.
  • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat into a 1-inch (2 ½ cm) thick square. Using a large knife or bench scraper, cut the square in half lengthwise, then crosswise into quarters, creating 8 rectangular biscuits.
  • Brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter. Bake until golden on top, about 20 minutes. Let the biscuits cool on the pan for 10 minutes.
  • Serve the biscuits warm with the spicy honey butter.
  • Enjoy!

SWEET POTATO BISCUITS WITH HONEY BUTTER



Sweet Potato Biscuits with Honey Butter image

Paula Deen's sweet potato biscuits are delicious as a side dish or slathered with honey butter for breakfast.

Categories     Breads

Time 30m

Yield Makes about 10 biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 10

¾ cup cooked mashed sweet potato (from one large sweet potato)
⅓ - ½ cup whole milk, as needed
1½ cups all-purpose flour, spooned into measuring cup and leveled-off with back edge of knife
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small chunks
1 stick (½ cup) unsalted butter, softened
2 tablespoons honey
¼ teaspoon cinnamon

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the mashed sweet potatoes and ⅓ cup milk. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt; process for a few seconds to mix. Add the chunks of cold butter, then pulse a few times until the mixture resembles coarse meal with some pea-size chunks of butter within. (If you don't have a food processor, this can be done by hand with a pastry cutter or your hands.)
  • Transfer the flour mixture to a medium bowl, then add the sweet potato mixture and fold gently to combine. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons milk a little at a time until the dough is just moistened and holds together (you may not need all of it).
  • Sprinkle a small handful of flour on a work surface. Turn the dough out onto the surface and knead lightly 2 or 3 times with the palm of your hand until the mixture comes together. Pat the dough into a ¾-inch round. Using a 2½ inch-round biscuit cutter or glass, cut the dough into biscuits. Gently press the scraps into another round and cut out more biscuits. Place the biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet and bake until golden on the bottom and firm to the touch, 12-14 minutes. Serve warm with honey butter.
  • In a small bowl, beat together the butter, honey and cinnamon.
  • Note: The nutritional information does not include the honey butter.
  • Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The biscuits can be baked and then frozen in an airtight container or sealable plastic bag for up to 3 months. To reheat, wrap them in aluminum foil and warm in a 350°F oven until hot.

Tips for Making Sweet Potato Biscuits with Honey Butter

  • For the best flavor, use fresh sweet potatoes. Avoid using canned or frozen sweet potatoes, as they will not produce the same light and fluffy texture.
  • Be sure to grate the sweet potatoes finely. This will help them to incorporate evenly into the biscuit dough.
  • Do not overmix the biscuit dough. Overmixing will make the biscuits tough.
  • If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour. However, be careful not to add too much flour, as this will make the biscuits dry.
  • Bake the biscuits until they are golden brown and cooked through. This will usually take about 10-12 minutes.
  • Serve the biscuits warm with honey butter for the best flavor.

Conclusion

Sweet potato biscuits are a delicious and easy-to-make Southern treat. They are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Serve them with honey butter, jam, or your favorite gravy. You can also add cheese, bacon, or diced ham to the dough for a savory twist. No matter how you choose to serve them, these sweet potato biscuits are sure to be a hit!
