Ingredients
1 ¾cupsall-purpose flour
1teaspoonkosher salt
1 ½teaspoonsbaking powder
1tablespoongranulated sugar
¾cupsweet potato puree
½cupextra virgin olive oilplus extra to drizzle on biscuits
20fresh sage leaveschopped finely
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a nonstick baking mat.
In a large glass bowl, measure out, then whisk the flour, salt, baking powder, sugar and finely chopped sage leaves together until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
In another smaller bowl, combine the sweet potato puree with the olive oil. Using a fork, mix until combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir with a rubber spatula, using circular motions until the dough begins to come together. (There will still be some visible flour, so don’t fret! We will deal with that in the next step.)
Lightly sprinkle a countertop or another flat surface with flour. Turn the dough out onto it.
Using gentle hands, knead the dough until the excess flour has been incorporated. (This should take about 2-5 minutes.)
Once the dough is together, pat it out into a ½” thick round.
Using a 1-2” biscuit cutter, cut out the biscuits, starting at the outside edge and cutting close together. If necessary, use the scraps from the first round to pull together another to cut more biscuits.
Transfer the biscuits to the prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle more olive oil on top of the biscuits, then transfer to the preheated oven.
Bake for 10-14 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove from the oven.
Let cool on the baking sheet or a cooling rack, then enjoy!
