The flavored butter these Sweet Potato Biscuits are served with makes a good thing great.
Sweet Potato Biscuits
Makes 7
Ingredients
- 2½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon firmly packed dark brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ cup cold unsalted butter, cubed

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. Using a pastry blender, cut in cold butter until mixture is crumbly; stir in sweet potato. Gradually stir in buttermilk just until dry ingredients are moistened.
