SWEET BISCUIT RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Prick sweet potato several times with a fork.
• Heat sweet potato in a microwave on high until tender, about 6 minutes. Cut potato in half and scoop flesh out of the skin into a bowl; discard skin. Mash potato with a fork or potato masher and transfer about 1 cup to a large bowl. Save any remaining sweet potato for another use.
• Mix whole wheat flour, applesauce, and eggs in the large bowl with the sweet potato until a dough forms. Turn dough out on a well-floured surface and roll dough to about 1/2-inch thick. Cut out shapes using a cookie cutter or cut dough into strips with a pizza cutter. Arrange cookies on an ungreased baking sheet.
• Bake until crisp, 35 to 45 minutes. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425° and grease a baking sheet with cooking spray. In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Add butter and use your hands to cut butter into flour until about pea-sized. Add mashed sweet potato and buttermilk and stir until a rough dough starts to come together. Use your hands to help knead flour into biscuits until it just holds together.  Dump dough onto a clean surface and bring dough together, using your hands to help incorporate any dry flour bits.  Pat dough into a ½” thick square. Fold dough in half from left to right, then fold in half again from top to bottom. Pat dough back out into a ¾” thick square.  Use a 2 ½” round cutter to cut biscuits out and place on prepared baking sheet. Gather scraps together and pat back down into ¾” thick square one more time to cut a few biscuits out.  Brush tops of biscuits with melted butter and bake until tops and bottoms are golden, about 20 minutes.
