1 large or 2 medium sweet potatoes
\n1\/3 cup buttermilk
\n2 tablespoons raw honey
\n2 cups all-purpose flour, plus extra for rolling
\n1 tablespoon baking powder
\n1 teaspoon salt
\n5 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
\n1 tablespoon melted butter
\n
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut into 1″ pieces. Place the sweet potato in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and continue to boil until potatoes are soft, approximately 25 minutes. Drain the water and pur\u00e9e the potato either by mashing, ricing, or placing in a food processor and pulsing until smooth.
\n
Measure out 3\/4 cup of sweet potato pur\u00e9e and chill in the refrigerator. The remaining sweet potato mash can be saved for alternate uses or frozen for biscuits at a later date.
\n
Preheat oven to 425\u00ba F. Mix the 3\/4 cup sweet potato pur\u00e9e with the buttermilk and honey. Set aside.
\n
In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and the salt, stirring to mix. Add the butter. Using a pastry blender, cut the butter into the flour until crumbly. Incorporate the sweet potato mixture until a soft dough is formed.
\n
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it lightly. Roll the dough 1″ thick. Using a 2″ biscuit cutter, cut out rounds, as close together as possible. Place the rounds on a baking sheet. Brush the tops lightly with the melted butter.
\n
Bake for 10-12 minutes until tops are just turning a golden brown along the edges. Remove from oven. Serve warm with extra butter and honey, if desired.
\n
\nMakes 12-14 biscuits.
