Instructions

To Make The Sweet Potato Biscuits

Add the melted butter to an 8x8" square baking dish. Set aside.
1 stick butter
Add the flour, milk, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg to a large mixing bowl and whisk together until evenly combined.
2 3/4 cups flour, 1 1/2 cups whole milk, 6 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tbsp baking powder, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, 1 tsp ground nutmeg
Add the sweet potato to the mixing bowl and stir until evenly incorporated and the dough comes together.
1 cup mashed roasted sweet potato
Transfer the biscuit dough to the prepared baking dish. Using a spatula, press the dough down & out into an even layer.
Using a sharp knife score the top of the dough into 9 evenish squares.
Bake at 450° for 25-30 minutes on the middle rack.

To Make The Cinnamon Honey Butter

Whisk together all of the butter ingredients, in a small bowl, until evenly combined. Pour this evenly out over the hot biscuits in the baking dish.
1/4 cup melted butter, 1/8 cup honey, 1 tsp ground cinnamon
Let cool some before slicing and serving warm. Enjoy!

Notes

For light biscuits, make sure you are using the spoon method to measure your flour. Just spoon the flour into your measuring cup and level it off instead of scooping directly from the bag.
Be careful not to overmix the dough so the biscuits stay soft. The dough is ready when it just comes together. Overmixing leads to tougher, denser biscuits.
Keep in mind the dough will be stickier than traditional biscuit dough. That's why you need to spread it out into the pan with a spatula.
Make sure you don't skip scoring the dough into the 9 squares. It makes it easier to separate the biscuits when they are baked.
