What You'll Need

  • 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

  • 3/4 cup sweet potato filling

What to Do

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; mix well.
  3. Using a pastry blender or your hands, cut margarine pieces into flour mixture until crumbly. Stir in sweet potato and buttermilk; mix just until combined.
  4. On a lightly floured surface, knead dough until it holds together. Pat dough into a 1/2-inch thickness. Using a 2-inch round biscuit cutter, cut out a few biscuits and place in baking sheet. Repeat process until all dough is used. Brush biscuits with melted margarine.
