Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix melted margarine with mashed sweet potatoes and sugar.
- Add the mixture to Bisquick, mixing thoroughly.
- Knead lightly and pat out on a floured board.
- If the dough is too sticky, add extra Bisquick as needed.
- Grease a baking pan and bake at 400°F until done, approximately 15 to 20 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, use unsalted butter instead of margarine. You can also substitute half of the Bisquick with whole wheat flour for a healthier twist. If you're short on time, pre-made sweet potato mash can save you some effort. To enhance sweetness, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg. Always ensure your sweet potatoes are well-mashed to avoid lumps in the dough.
Serving Suggestions
These sweet potato biscuits are delightful served warm with a pat of butter or a drizzle of honey. They pair wonderfully with savory dishes like fried chicken or could complement a fresh salad, such as Sunshine Salad. For a unique twist, serve them alongside Berry Mousse for a sweet finish to your meal.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, refrigerate them for up to a week. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5-10 minutes until warm, or microwave for 20-30 seconds. This will help maintain their softness and flavor.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these biscuits ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the dough and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours before baking. Just let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before rolling out. This allows the dough to become easier to handle and ensures a better rise during baking.
What can I use instead of Bisquick?
If you don't have Bisquick, you can make your own by combining 2 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour with 1 tablespoon of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. This will give you a similar texture and flavor to the original recipe.
How do I know when the biscuits are done baking?
The biscuits are done when they turn golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Keep an eye on them while baking, as oven temperatures can vary, and you don’t want them to overbake.
