Sweet Potato Beer Biscuits With Maple Sage Butter

Ingredients
  

For the Biscuits:

  • 1 large sweet potato
  • 2/3 cup beer
  • 2 cups flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • pinch salt
  • 1 tbs sugar
  • 1 stick butter cold, cut into small cubes
  • 1 tbs melted butter

For the Butter:

  • 3 tbs butter room temperature
  • 1 sage leaf minced
  • 1 tsp pure maple syrup

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425.
  • Pierce the sweet potato all over. Microwave on high until soft, about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool enough to work with. Remove and discard skin, add sweet potato to a bowl (should be about 3/4 cup of sweet potato mash).
  • Add the beer to the sweet potatoes and using a potato masher, stir and mash until completely combined.
  • In a bowl, add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar. Mix to combine.
  • Add the butter cubes and using your fingers or a pastry blender, rub the butter into the flour until completely combined.
  • Add the sweet potato beer mixture and mix until just combined.
  • Form dough into a ball and place on a lightly floured surface. Form into a square, about 1 1/2 inches high, and about 1 foot long. Cut into square biscuits. Place on a baking sheet covered with a Silpat or parchment paper. Brush with melted butter.
  • Bake at 425 for 15-18 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, add the maple syrup ingredients and stir until combined.
  • Serve biscuits warm, with maple sage butter.
