Hi Bold Bakers!
During the Fall I probably bake more than ever. It’s simply because the weather cools down, evenings get darker earlier and the Holidays are just around the corner.
On the top of my baking list are breads and doughs. My favorite thing to bake is bread. I love the entire process and the fact that you can make a loaf in just a few hours or something simple like biscuits that you can whip up in no time. It just means you’re never short of options. I think the biggest question is what to bake next and that’s where my Sweet Potato Biscuits come in…
I created this recipe for The Inspired Home website. It’s a place where I go to find out what new products are coming out along with tips and fantastic recipes. The Inspired Home’s mission is to inspire, inform and encourage you to make your house into a home, lead a balanced and healthy lifestyle and to create moments to celebrate and connect with your friends and family.

Biscuits are an American staple. They are known as a “quick bread,” meaning you can whip them up and there is no yeast or proofing time needed. Picture tasting buttery, savory scones and that’s what you’ve got. Now imagine the sweetness from the potato and the savory from the rosemary and you have a biscuit from another dimension.
During Thanksgiving and Christmas they are often found on dinner tables to be served with your big feast. Serve these freshly baked biscuits with softened butter that has been mixed with a little honey and you will be in heaven. Go on, it’s the Holidays…
I made these Sweet Potato Biscuits using new kitchen equipment that came just in time for my baking frenzy. Check out my Typhoon Stainless Steel Digital Food Scale. It converts grams into ounces with ease and it has a big bowl for me to weigh all of my ingredients at the one time. Also, you’ll notice my Mason Cash Mixing Bowl and Pastry Brush. Mason Cash has been a staple in my household for years and these mixing bowls see a lot of action year round.
My gorgeous John Boos Chopping Board gives me a big surface to chop, roll and cut on. In my small kitchen I need all the space I can get.
