Did you all have a nice weekend? Hope so.
I have to confess, I baked these last Monday to take on my camping trip. They are the perfect camping biscuit as they go with everything and last for a few days. I used "yams" instead of the yellow sweet potatoes this time around, hence the vibrant colour!
Sweet Potato Biscuits - makes about 12-15
1 lb sweet potatoes or yams
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
4 tsp baking powder
2 tblsp sugar
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
8 tblsp unsalted butter, cold
1/4 cup milk
Preheat oven to 400f. Wash potatoes and, using a fork, prick the potato several times. Place on baking sheet and bake for about an hour or until soft. When cool enough to handle, scoop out flesh and press through a sieve. You should have about 1 1/4 cup of puree.
Combine dry ingredients in a mixing bowl. Cut in butter until it resembles course meal. In another bowl, mix potato puree and milk, then add to dry ingredients. Mix until well combined.
Place dough on lightly floured board, knead a little, and pat out to about 1/2 inch thick. Cut out biscuits with a 2 inch round cutter. Bake on parchment paper lined baking sheet for about 20 minutes or until golden brown on top. Serve warm!
Enjoy your Monday! Back on Wednesday.

I am pregnant and sweet potatoes are a baby superfood - I am totally trying these!
To all,
Just one more thing...they really do work with anything! I just made a sandwich with one of these: hard boiled egg, cheese, basil, tomato. Yum.
Great photos! :)
You know I love your Backed on Monday, but now it's becoming a "torture" to me since I can't really cook or back with my big belly, but your photos make me very hungry! Where can I find these Sweet Potato Biscuits in NYC??
