2 1/4 c all purpose flour
2 tbsp sugar
1 1/2 tbsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 c unsalted butter (cubed and chilled)
1/2 c whole milk (chilled)
1 c sweet potato (mashed and cooled)
2 tbsp brown sugar
1/4 c salted butter (softened)
1/4 c maple syrup
2 tsp cinnamon

Steps:

Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees. Mix together the milk, sweet potato, and brown sugar. Chill it in the fridge or freezer for 15 minutes along with the cubed butter.
Combine all of the dry ingredients and cut in the butter. Pour in the sweet potato mixture. Work the dough into a soft ball with a pastry cutter. Dump the dough out onto to a floured surface.
Knead into a 5-6 inch rectangle and fold. Then knead and press it another 3-4 time. Roll out and cut the dough with 3″ biscuit cutter. Reshape and roll the dough again to continue making cuts. You should get 8-10 biscuits.
Place biscuits in a buttered cast-iron skillet or on a baking sheet and brush with butter. Bake for 16-18 minutes. Brush with more butter after baking if desired.
