Ingredients

3 cups all purpose flour
½ cup brown sugar
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon ground allspice
1 teaspoon cinnamon
10 tablespoons butter
2 cups mashed sweet potato about two large potatoes roasted and mashed, with peels discarded
⅓ cup buttermilk

Instructions

Preheat oven to 450℉ degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients. Cut in butter to make a coarse meal. Stir in sweet potatoes. Add buttermilk and stir until sticky.
Turn out the dough onto a floured surface and roll to one-half inch thick. Cut with a small cookie cutter or a round glass and put on a greased cookie sheet about 1 inch apart. Or, drop by teaspoonfuls onto the cookie sheet to make drop biscuits.
Place in the oven and bake 12-15 minutes until very lightly browned.
Let the biscuits cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet then serve.

Notes

Vegans: Swap margarine or vegetable shortening for the butter and put 1 teaspoon of vinegar into 1 cup of soy milk (and then use 1/3 cup of that) to make non-dairy 'buttermilk.'
