Servings: 10
Ingredients
- ½ cup Milk. --Plus additional to brush on top of the biscuits. Use cold whole milk
- 1 tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
- 1 cup Mashed Sweet Potato --cold
- 2 tbsp Maple Syrup.
- 2¼ cups Flour.
- 1 tsp Salt.
- 3½ tsp Baking Powder.
- 6 tbsp Unsalted Butter --Frozen and then grated.
Instructions
- Prepare. Line a baking sheet(s) with parchment paper. Also preheat your oven to 425°F
- Make the buttermilk substitute. Stir the apple cider vinegar into the cold milk and let it stand for five minutes until slightly curdled.
- Wet Ingredients. In a medium bowl, whisk together the mashed sweet potato, maple syrup, and the milk mixture from the last step until smooth and well combined.
- Dry Ingredients. In a large mixing bowl use a whisk to combine together the flour, salt, and baking powder until evenly distributed.
- Cut. Add your frozen grated butter to the dry ingredients in the large mixing bowl. Use a pastry blender (or your fingertips) to gently work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces of butter remaining.
- Form. Pour the sweet potato mixture from the third step into the large mixing bowl and then use a fork or rubber spatula to gently stir the ingredients just until a shaggy dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the biscuits tough.
- Shape. To shape the biscuits, turn the dough onto a clean and lightly floured flat surface. Gently pat and work the dough into a rectangle about ¾ inch thick. Then use a 2-inch round biscuit cutter to cut the dough into biscuits. Place the cut biscuits on your baking sheet about an inch apart from one another and then brush the tops of the biscuits with a bit of milk.
- Bake Bake the biscuits for 13–16 minutes, or until the tops are set and the bottoms and edges are lightly golden brown
- Cool. Let the biscuits cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before serving. They're best enjoyed warm with butter, honey, or extra maple syrup

Cold Butter, Milk, and Sweet Potatoes help keep the butter from melting while baking. This is how the steam forms to produce tender and flaky biscuit layers. :)
