The vivid orange tuber, so popular and easy to grow in Malawi, adds a moist crumb and a slightly sweet kick, while the pinch of ginger gives a nearly undetectable bit of “yum” that will leave your loved ones wondering what is that?!

Ingredients
  • 4 Tbsp butter (salted)
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 3/4 cup sweet potatoes (mashed), baked
  • 1 pinch grated ginger
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375F.
  2. Roast your sweet potatoes until soft (be sure to slit them with a knife so they don’t burst). This can take up to an hour.
  3. Reduce the heat to 350F, for the biscuits.
  4. While the sweet potatoes are still very hot, add 3/4 cup to a bowl with the cubed butter. Let the heat of the sweet potatoes melt the butter puddles.
  5. Add the milk, ginger, salt, flour and baking powder and mix well.
  6. On a heavily floured board, with heavily floured hands, press the dough flat – about 1 inch thick.
  7. Dip your cookie cutter into flour to keep the biscuit dough from sticking.
  8. Lay biscuits 2″ apart on a lined baking sheet.
  9. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until puffed and golden.
Recipe Notes

Note: if you’re making this with cold, leftover sweet potatoes, simply melt the butter before combining the two ingredients.
