Biscuits Recipe ⊷ Sweet Potato and Black Pepper Biscuits

Sweet and peppery biscuits, great for ham sandwiches with a little honey mustard. You can substitute pumpkin or winter squash for the sweet potato.

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon white sugar
• ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ¾ cup butter
• 1 cup cold mashed sweet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream

Cooking Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
2. Whisk flour, baking powder, sugar, pepper, baking soda, and salt together in a large mixing bowl. Cut butter into the flour mixture with a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir sweet potatoes and cream into the flour mixture until the dough is soft.
3. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface; knead the dough, turning over about 5 times. Roll to about 1/2-inch thick. Cut 2-inch circles out of dough and arrange on a baking sheet.
4. Bake in preheated oven until lightly browned, 12 to 15 minutes.
