Add a little sweet potato goodness to your biscuits.

Ingredients

1 lb (450 g) sweet potatoes

2 ¹⁄₂ cups all-purpose flour

4 tsp baking powder

2 tbsp sugar

1 tspSea Salt (Grinder)

1 - 3 tsp Cajun seasoning

1 cup unsalted butter

¹⁄₄ cup milk

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400° F (205° C).
Wash potatoes and pierce in several places with a fork. Place on Sheet Pan and bake until soft (about 1 hour), or microwave for 5–7 minutes until soft.
When cool enough to handle, scoop out insides and mash to a fine purée. Measure out 1 ³⁄₄ cups purée and set aside. Refrigerate or freeze leftover for future use.
Stir flour with baking powder, sugar, Sea Salt and Cajun Seasoning in a bowl. With a pastry cutter or two knives, cut in butter until mixture resembles a coarse meal.
Stir milk with potato purée in another bowl and add to dry ingredients. Stir until moistened.
Place dough on a lightly floured surface. Knead once or twice, and pat out to ¹⁄₂" thick. Cut out biscuits using an upside-down water glass. Place on parchment-lined Sheet Pan and bake for about 20 minutes, until golden brown.
