Sweet Potato Biscuits with Maple Butter

Clock

Ingredients

  • 1 small microwavable sweet potato
  • 2½ cups all purpose flour
  • 2 Tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 Tbsp baking powder
  • 1 Tbsp kosher salt, divided
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¾ cup cold butter, cubed
  • ⅓ cup buttermilk
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • ¾ cup butter, softened
  • ⅓ cup maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Microwave sweet potato according to package directions. Let cool. Remove and discard potato skin; mash potato pulp until smooth.
  2. Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, 2 tsp salt, and cinnamon in a large bowl. Cut in cold butter using a pastry blender or two forks until mixture is crumbly.
  3. Whisk together sweet potato puree and buttermilk in a separate bowl; gradually add to flour mixture until a shaggy dough forms, adding more buttermilk if needed.
  4. Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface and pat or roll dough to 1-inch thickness. Cut dough with a 2-inch round cutter, re-rolling scraps as needed. Place on a lightly greased baking sheet.
  5. Brush tops of biscuits with beaten egg. Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown.
  6. Meanwhile, beat softened butter with a mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add syrup and 1 tsp salt; beat until well blended. Serve biscuits with maple butter.
