Teresa Ambra
Sweet Potato Biscuits are so mouthwatering you won't be able to stop eating them! This delicious Paula Deen biscuit recipe just melts-in-your-mouth and includes sweet potatoes. Great biscuit recipe to serve as a side for breakfast, with salads at lunch, or soup for dinner. This is southern-style comfort food at its best!

  • 2 heaping tablespoons granulated sugar

  • 4 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter softened (1/2 stick)
  • 2 tbsp. 2% milk or more, depending on the moisture of the potatoes
  • 1 cup sweet potatoes cooked and mashed
  • 1/2 tsp. kosher salt or sea salt
  • 2 tbsp. butter melted

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 450°.
  • Sift together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.

  • Add milk, a tablespoon at a time.
  • Use only as much as necessary to get the ingredients to adhere.
  • Turn dough out onto a floured board and knead lightly until dough looks smooth—1-2 minutes.
  • Roll dough out to 1-inch thickness.

  • Spray cookie sheets or glass baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Place biscuits on prepared baking sheets.
  • Brush melted butter on tops and sides of biscuits.
  • Bake about 15-20 minutes or until done.
  • (Because I made my biscuits a lot thicker than the original recipe called for, they took 22 minutes to bake.)
  • Brush biscuits with melted butter again after removing from oven.

Notes

NOTE: If biscuits seem to be browning too fast, lower the temperature or tent with foil.
