I have not tried it with sweet potatoes yet (the puree is in the fridge cooling down, that's next) but I did just make a batch with some butternut squash puree that I had in the fridge. Yum! Baking some ham later this evening and I thought having these on hand would be perfect for left overs! Thanks for such a fantastic blog. I cannot wait to read about and eat more of your recipes!

But there was MORE squash, so I used it to make these biscuits, and what a good idea that was! I switched out the sugar for maple syrup and used the white whole wheat flour that I've been addicted to since I made your chocolate chip cookies. I'm looking forward to a crispy piece of peppered bacon inside a biscuit. You're just great!

Though I've loved your column in BA for some time, I'm new to your blog. But I LOVE it!! And I am about 2/3 of the way done with your amazing book… So in just shy of two weeks, I feel you have changed my life – and my kitchen – for the better!

I made these biscuits this weekend and oh. my. god. They're amazing. In fact, embarrassingly enough, my husband and I ate them ALL within two days (and for some reason my batch even made 10 biscuits!).

I am all-too-comfortably settling into the idea that I will try all or most of your recipes in the coming months and honestly, it's one of the only things I am looking forward to as much as I am!

Thank you for your wonderful contributions – I have a lot of fun reading whatever it is you have to say 🙂

Happy new year and best wishes,
Debra

I tried the recipe and I messed something up. Shall try again soon with plenty of butter.

Yum!

They look wonderful and sweet potatoes are one of my favorite foods.

Do you have any suggestions what to use instead of ham for people who don’t eat pork and don’t mix meat and dairy (read: keep kosher).

Thanks!

I’m a terrible baker usually, too. Thanks so much for posting 🙂

I’m sure this reply comes <>way<> too late, but on the off chance that you’re still interested in making these, yes, I do think that you could use milk soured with lemon juice instead of the buttermilk. It should work just fine.
