Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup sweet potatoes, peeled, diced, and cooked
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup plant-based butter, chilled
  • 1/3 cup plant-based milk
  • 2 tablespoons natural brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1/4 cup smoked turkey bacon, chopped (optional)

Optional Variations

  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary or thyme for herb infusion
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg for spiced version
  • 1/2 cup shredded plant-based cheddar (plant-based) for cheesy delight
  • Natural maple syrup (natural) for glazing

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Peel and dice the sweet potatoes, then steam or boil until tender. Mash thoroughly until smooth and allow to cool to room temperature to ensure soft biscuit texture.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and natural gelling agent to ensure even distribution and tender crumb.
  3. Cut in Plant-Based Butter: Using chilled plant-based butter, cut it into the flour mixture with a pastry cutter or fingers until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs, which helps create flakiness.
  4. Combine with Wet Ingredients: Add the mashed sweet potatoes, natural brown sugar, plant-based milk, and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) to the flour mixture. Stir gently until a soft dough forms, being careful not to overmix.
  5. Shape and Bake: Turn the dough onto a floured surface, pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle, then cut into rounds or squares. Place biscuits on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at 425°F (220°C) for 15-18 minutes or until golden and fluffy.

Notes

  • Use cold plant-based butter to create a flaky texture.
  • Do not overmix the dough to maintain tenderness and fluffiness.
  • Freshly cooked sweet potatoes provide the best moisture and flavor.
  • If the dough feels sticky, chill it for 15 minutes before shaping.
  • Watch baking time closely to ensure biscuits are golden but not dry.
