Sweet Potato Biscuits

Directions

• Step 1
  Line a baking sheet with parchment. In a large bowl, sift together flour, allspice, baking powder, brown sugar, and salt. Cut in butter until it resembles coarse meal.
• Step 2
  Stir together sweet potatoes and milk, then add to dry ingredients. Use a fork and blend until the dough just comes together.
• Step 3
  Turn onto a floured surface and fold dough over onto itself 6–8 times. (Be careful not to knead or overwork.) Pat into 1" thickness. Cut into circles using a floured round cutter. Place biscuits 2" apart on prepared pan and set aside to rest 15 minutes.
• Step 4
  Preheat oven to 425°F.
• Step 5
  Brush cream generously onto biscuits, then bake 15–20 minutes, until golden brown. Turn pan halfway through baking to promote even browning.
