These easy sweet potato biscuits call for just four ingredients, but when combined make a fluffy and delicious biscuit.
What can I say, but this is the easiest sweet potato biscuit recipe you will ever find. I boiled a raw sweet potato for this recipe, but you can also use canned sweet potatoes and still get a great biscuit. There’s no need to cut butter into flour or fret over keeping your ingredients cold. I use this cinnamon honey butter recipe to serve alongside my biscuits.
Tips:
- Use fresh sweet potatoes or canned. No difference or judgement.
- Don’t over mix or you’ll have tough biscuits.
- I used a biscuit cutter, but you could easily just use a sharp knife and have square biscuits instead.
