For 12 Serving(s) Serving size

Sweet Potato Biscuits

1 Cup cooked, mashed orange- or yellow/white-fleshed sweet potatoes, or a combination
1 1/2 Cups milk
2 Teaspoons apple cider vinegar
2 1/2 Cups all-purpose flour, plus more for the work surface
1 1/2 Cups whole wheat flour
1 Tablespoon baking soda

Sweet Potato Biscuits Directions

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the sweetpotatoes, milk, and vinegar. In a large bowl, whisk together the flours and baking soda. Add the flour mixture to the sweetpotato mixture, stirring to form a shaggy dough.
Transfer the mixture to a floured work surface and knead to form a smooth dough. Roll or pat the dough out to 1-inch thick, then use a floured 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter to cut the dough into biscuits, arranging them on the prepared baking sheet. Gather the scraps and repeat to make a total of 12 biscuits.
Bake until the biscuits are browned, 12 to 15 minutes.
