Easy Homemade Sweet Potato Biscuits Recipe

Features:
    Cuisine:

    These were delicious and so easy. The hint of spice from the cayenne really adds to the flavor. We enjoyed them sliced and topped with a little apple butter. used a 1/3 cup scoop for the biscuits and they're good size - but note that I only got 7 total biscuits. So obviously you would get a few more if you used a 1/4 size scoop - but the 1/2 cup scoop would make for a huge biscuit and not even 7 per batch.

    Sweet Potato Drop Biscuits, These biscuits, from my own original recipe, are light, rich, moist and slightly spicy The sweet potato flavor is pronounced but not overpowering They’re great for breakfast, but since they aren’t sweet, they work well as a side dish for lunch or dinner, too , These were delicious and so easy The hint of spice from the cayenne really adds to the flavor We enjoyed them sliced and topped with a little apple butter used a 1/3 cup scoop for the biscuits and they’re good size – but note that I only got 7 total biscuits So obviously you would get a few more if you used a 1/4 size scoop – but the 1/2 cup scoop would make for a huge biscuit and not even 7 per batch , My only modification was that used bleached flour (what I had on hand) and used non-fat plain greek yogurt
