Sweet Potato Biscuits with Ham
12 servings
40 minutes total

Ingredients

  • Parchment paper
  • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
  • 1 ½ cups refrigerated mashed sweet potatoes
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 3 ¼ cups flour (+ additional for rolling)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 8 oz sliced cooked ham
  • ¾ cup mustard barbecue sauce
  • 24 dill pickle slices

Steps

    1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Melt butter. Combine sweet potatoes, 6 tablespoons melted butter, and buttermilk; whisk until blended. Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar; stir into sweet potato mixture until just combined.
    2. Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface. Dust dough with enough flour to pat (or gently roll out) to about 1 inch thick (about ½ cup; dough will be sticky). Cut out biscuits with 3-inch round cutter and place on baking sheet with sides touching.
    3. Brush tops of biscuits with remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Bake 18–20 minutes until tops are golden and centers are set.
    4. Heat ham and barbecue sauce following package instructions, if desired. Split open biscuits; place bottom halves on work surface and top evenly with ham, pickles, and barbecue sauce. Complete with top halves of biscuits and serve.
    Chef's Tip: Leftover biscuits can be reheated and used to make fried egg and cheese sandwiches the next morning.
