Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients You’ll Need

  • 1 cup cooked mashed sweet potato
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon natural baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons cold plant-based butter, cubed
  • 3/4 cup plant-based milk
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)

Optional Variations

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary or thyme (for herb-infused biscuits)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, nutmeg, or ground ginger (for spiced sweet potato)
  • 1/2 cup grated plant-based cheese (for cheesy style)
  • 1/2 cup chopped smoked turkey bacon (for smoky crunch)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Peel and boil the sweet potatoes until soft and mashable. Drain well, then mash thoroughly until smooth with no lumps to ensure an even biscuit texture.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, natural baking powder, salt, and natural gelling agent to create an even base.
  3. Cut in the Plant-Based Butter: Using a pastry cutter or fingers, blend cold, cubed plant-based butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs, which is essential for tender, flaky biscuits.
  4. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, stir together the mashed sweet potatoes, plant-based milk, and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) until fully combined.
  5. Form the Dough: Gently fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients just until they come together, taking care not to overmix to maintain tenderness.
  6. Shape and Bake: Turn the dough onto a floured surface, pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle, and cut into rounds or squares. Place biscuits on a parchment-lined baking tray and bake at 425°F (220°C) for 12 to 15 minutes until golden and puffed.

Notes

  • Keep plant-based butter chilled to achieve a flaky texture.
  • Do not overmix the dough to keep biscuits tender.
  • Use fresh natural baking powder for best rise and fluffiness.
  • Pat the dough gently without pressing too hard to retain air pockets.
  • Serve biscuits warm fresh from the oven for optimal softness and flavor.
