I’ve always loved sweet potatoes from baked to casseroles to our family’s favorite Candied sweet potatoes. It’s a good thing too, I suppose, I live 45 miles east of the sweet potato capital of the world, Vardaman, MS.

We always had sweet potatoes during the cold months when I was growing up. There were always farmers that would bring a truckbed full of sweet potatoes to town to sell. We would literally pick what we wanted from the truck, pay and be on our way. I don’t see this much anymore, but one of my husband’s clients is a large sweet potato producer. On a recent visit, Wesley brought a case of sweet potatoes even though he’s not the biggest fan of them.

First, I want to make Sweet Potato Biscuits. My Mom didn’t make sweet potato biscuits even though we grew sweet potatoes. As well, I never had them growing up.

I was very pleased with how they turned out. Tall and fluffy with just a slight hint of sweet potato flavor. I suppose they truely were lightly sweet potato flavored because Wesley really, really like them. His first critique regarding them was, “not bad”, but when I saw him reheating one the following night, then another one the next night I knew that “not bad” really meant “really good”.

Literally, I made a meal on the Old Fashioned Homemade Sweet Potato Biscuits with Honey Butter. Wesley ate them as a dessert. Probably, they should be a side replacing your standard bread or roll.

Ingredients

  • 1 and ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 3/4 cup cooked mashed sweet potatotes
  • 1/4 cup butter very cold, cut into cubes
  • 5 to 7 tablespoons whole milk

HONEY BUTTER

  • 1/2 cup butter not margarine
  • 2 tablespoon honey

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

  • In a large bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
  • Cut in butter with a pastry blender or fork until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
  • Add sweet potato mixture and stir gently to combine. Add more milk if needed. You dough needs to be moist enough to stay together and firm.
  • Sprinkle flour on your work surface and turn the dough onto the surface. Knead 2 to 3 times until the mixture comes together.
  • Pat dough so that it's 1 inch thick.
  • Cut into 2 inch round biscuits and place in prepared skillet. Bake until lightly browned about 14 minutes.
  • Brush with melted butter after removing from oven if desired.
  • Mix butter and honey together until smooth, serve with hot biscuits

    These sweet potato biscuits are the best I have had. They are fluffier and rise beautifully. I was lucky enough to have Hayman sweet potatoes from the Eastern shore of Virginia and they came out great.

    These turned out DELICIOUS! I used about 10 tbsp of buttermilk in place of milk. I also had to use way more flour too. They turned out fluffy and are our new favorite biscuits! I also made the honey butter with cinnamon. So so good!

    I made this recipe just now, and they’re awesome. One critique that I have is that I put about a tablespoon of cinnamon in it. Took exactly 14 minutes in the oven. Quick and easy.

    I also made a half recipe with gluten free all purpose flour for my mom, and it worked out well also. For future reference.
