Ingredients
Method
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Poke the potatoes a few times with a fork. Roast them for 50-60 minutes or until they are soft when pierced with a fork. Allow them to cool to room temperature on the baking sheet.
- Once they are cooled, peel and discard the skin. Mash the potato flesh with a fork until smooth. If you don't like the bits of sweet potato in your biscuits, purée the potatoes until smooth.
- In a small bowl, combine the yogurt, milk and sweet potatoes.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, cinnamon and salt. With a pastry cutter, cut in the butter until they are the size of peas.
- Stir in the milk mixture with a spoon until the dough starts to come together. Then knead in the bowl with your hand until just combined. You don't want to warm the dough by messing too much.
- Roll the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and flatten to 1 inch thickness. Using a 2 inch circle biscuit cutter, cut the biscuits by going straight up and down on the dough (don't twist).
- Place the biscuits on a silpat or parchment paper covered baking sheet and bake for 10-14 minutes, or until slightly golden on top. Cool on a cooling rack or enjoy warm.
- (Optional) Cut a biscuit in half, line each half with marshmallows and broil for a few seconds until puffy and browned.
Notes
Freeze on a baking sheet and transfer frozen biscuits to a freezer safe container or bag that is labeled.
