How To Make sweet potato biscuits

    Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Stir together first 3 ingredients in a large bowl. Cut butter cubes and shortening into flour mixture with pastry blender or fork until mixture resembles coarse meal. Cover and chill 10 minutes.
  • 2
    Whisk together buttermilk and sweet potato. Add to flour mixture, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened.
  • 3
    Turn dough out onto a well floured surface and knead lightly 3 or 4 times. Pat or roll dough to 3/4 inch thickness; cut with a 2-inch round cutter, reshaping scraps once (do not twist cutter). Place rounds on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
