Sweet Potato Biscuits (Weelicious Recipe)

Posted by Weelicious and tested by one of our Mums from Shining Stars Playgroup - this fluffy 'biscuit' (also known as a 'scone') is made incorporating sweet potato.

Great to make a batch, then freeze in portions, and pull out for a quick morning tea snack!

Sweet Potato Biscuits (Makes about 20 Biscuits)

2 Cup All Purpose Flour
2 Tsp Baking Powder
1/2 Tsp Baking Soda
1 Tsp Salt
1/4 Cup Butter, chilled and cubed
1 Cup Sweet Potatoes, cooked; and mashed
1/3 Cup Milk
2 Tbsp Honey

1. Preheat oven to 400 F.
2. Place the first 4 ingredients in a food processor and pulse to combine.
3. Add butter and pulse until it resembles coarse meal.
4. Add the sweet potatoes, milk and honey and pulse until the dough comes together.
5. Place dough onto parchment paper and knead 5 times to combine the ingredients and then shape into a flat disk (you don’t want to over knead the dough).
6. Place another piece of parchment paper on top and roll out with a rolling pin until 3/4-1/2 inch thick.
7. Cut into circles or other shapes using cookie cutter.
8. Place the biscuits on a Silpat or parchment-lined baking sheet lightly coated with cooking spray.
