Beginner Friendly Sweet Potato Biscuits
My sweet potato lovers, this super quick and easy Sweet Potato Biscuit recipe is for you! With only six ingredients you can make this in no time. One of my 2023 goals was to overcome fear of baking things from scratch, a fear developed due to lack of access! Most of my childhood, the oven at my house was broken. So while I learned to cook, I didn’t grow up learning or even attempting to bake; except cookies in a toaster oven. Well I am happy to share that I started my baking journey! As I am learning, I am always looking to make things that are beginner friendly. With my love for sweet potatoes and biscuits, I knew this recipe was a great start for me.
