Ingredients

3/4 cup pureed sweet potato (1 large sweet potato)
1/2 cup buttermilk + additional for brushing
1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 Tbsp granulated sugar
1 Tbsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
6 Tbsp unsalted butter cold and cut into cubes

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a baking mat, set aside.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the sweet potato and the buttermilk, set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Using a pastry blender, cut in the butter until pea-size clumps form. Add the sweet potato mixture, fold gently with a spatula to combine. You may need to add a little more buttermilk depending on how dry your mixture is.
Dust your work surface with flour, then turn the dough onto the the surface and knead with the palms of your hands for about 2 minutes. Roll or pat the dough until it's 1/2" thick. Using a 2 1/2"-3" round cutter, cut the dough into biscuits. You can re-roll the scraps and to cut additional biscuits.
Place the biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, brush tops with additional buttermilk and bake until light golden brown, about 12 to 15 minutes. Remove and allow to cool on the sheet for 5-7 minutes before eating.

Notes

-Buttermilk is a key ingredient, you can taste a difference and the texture is way better with it!
