Fall is officially here! Sure, the weather is still in the 80’s, but I am just pretending the weather is crisp and the leaves are turning red and yellow and I am sipping on ALL the PSL’s. I just want all the fall flavors like cinnamon, nutmeg, pumpkin and one of my favorite fall root vegetables, SWEET POTATOES!

These sweet potato biscuits are my go-to fall recipe. I have made them for many, many showers and brunches. You can serve them with a great honey butter, or with a savory ham or pork tenderloin. They could be a great alternative to a roll at your Thanksgiving table. You can even make them mini and cute. There are so many options for these and they bring in the right amount of sweetness with a classic biscuit texture.
