Old Fashioned Homemade Sweet Potato Biscuits with Honey Butter are buttery, slightly sweet, and pillowy soft.

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.

    These are amazing! I substituted buttermilk for the milk and oh boy did these turn out fluffy and so flavorful. They had to bake in the cast iron for about 20-25 minutes. At the original 14 minute mark I spread some melted butter on the top and just baked them in 3 minute increments until they were golden. Nice/gentle crunch on the outside and super soft and fluffy on the inside. GREAT recipe!! Thank you for sharing it!

    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.
