Homemade Sweet Potato Biscuits image

Make life a little sweeter by adding this versatile root vegetables to your next batch of biscuits: sweet potatoes! These homemade sweet potato biscuits are light, flakey and definitely worth the time required to make them. While the dough only needs 30 minutes of hands-on prep time to make, the biscuits require a total of around five hours to rise before they are ready to bake and enjoy. We love how versatile these sweet biscuits are-they can easily be enjoyed as part of a brunch spread, alongside a savory slow-cooker dinner or even as a subtly sweet addition to your Thanksgiving table.
