Ingredients
Instructions
- Use the Bisquick biscuit recipe on the package.
- Add sugar, cinnamon, and the cooked and mashed sweet potato to the biscuit dough.
- Mix until well combined.
- Pat out the dough with extra flour to prevent sticking.
- Cut the dough into biscuits.
- Bake in a greased iron skillet at 400°F for approximately 12 minutes.

Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter texture, ensure the sweet potato is well-mashed and free of lumps before adding it to the dough. If you don't have Bisquick, you can make your own baking mix by combining all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. You can also experiment with spices like nutmeg or ginger for added flavor.
Serving Suggestions
These sweet potato biscuits are delicious served warm with a pat of butter. They pair beautifully with honey or sorghum syrup for a delightful breakfast. Consider serving them alongside eggs or a fresh fruit salad for a complete meal. They also make a lovely side for dishes like Golden Rice Bake.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. For longer storage, you can freeze them for up to a month. To reheat, simply warm them in a toaster oven or microwave until heated through, which helps maintain their texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use canned sweet potato instead of fresh?
Yes, canned sweet potato can be used as a convenient substitute. Make sure to drain it well and mash it before adding it to the dough. This will help maintain the right consistency in the biscuits.
How can I make these biscuits gluten-free?
To make gluten-free sweet potato biscuits, substitute Bisquick with a gluten-free baking mix. You might need to adjust the liquid slightly, as gluten-free flours can vary in absorbency. Be sure to follow the same mixing and baking instructions.
What can I add to enhance the flavor?
Consider adding chopped nuts or dried fruit, like cranberries, to the dough for extra texture and flavor. A sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking can also enhance the sweetness of the biscuits.
