Tips for Best Gluten-Free Sweet Potato Parmesan Biscuits

Chill the Butter: Grate the butter and keep it in the freezer until you’re ready to use it. This helps achieve a flaky texture.

Don’t Overwork the Dough: Mix just until the dough comes together. Overworking can make the biscuits tough.

Use a Light Touch: When shaping the dough and cutting out the biscuits, handle it gently to keep the biscuits tender.

Measure the sweet potatoes: Do not use more sweet potatoes than the recipe calls for, or they will be gummy.

Step by Step To Great Biscuits

• Cook the sweet potatoes, mash them, and chill.
• Mix dry ingredients, then add butter and parmesan and combine.
• Add mashed sweet potatoes and briefly work into the flour.
• Add buttermilk and combine to form a dough.
• Shape the dough into about a 10-inch dish, and using a  3-inch cookie cutter or a glass cut out biscuits and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush with buttermilk and sprinkle with parmesan, and cracked black pepper if using.

Storing

These biscuits are best served warm from the oven, but they’re also delicious at room temperature. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. To keep them fresh longer, freeze the biscuits in a freezer-safe bag. Reheat them in the oven to restore their crispiness.
