Ingredients
  1. 2½ cups self-rising flour
  2. 3 tablespoons sugar
  3. ½ cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
  4. ¾ cup mashed sweet potato, chilled
  5. ½ cup cold whole buttermilk
  6. 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  7. Honey, to serve
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 425°. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, stir together flour and sugar. Using a fork, cut butter into flour until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-size pieces of butter remaining. Add sweet potato and buttermilk, stirring just until combined.
  3. Turn dough out onto a well-floured surface. Shape dough into a flat log; fold into thirds, like a letter. Roll into a 10x9-inch rectangle. Using a 2½-inch round cutter dipped in flour, cut dough, without twisting cutter. Reroll scraps as needed. Place biscuits on prepared pan, spacing 2 inches apart. Brush tops with melted butter. Place pan with biscuits in freezer 10 minutes.
  4. Bake until golden brown and cooked through, approximately 12 minutes. Drizzle with honey.
