Looking for a last-minute, easy-than-ever, totally tasty side bread 
for Thanksgiving? These sweet potato biscuits with marshmallow icing 
are the natural choice. Fluffy, flavorful, sweet potato-infused 
biscuits are topped with a gooey, smooth marshmallow icing for a 
decadent and delicious side bread that's made for your Thanksgiving 
dinner (or breakfast!) table.

PREP TIME: 20 MINUTES  COOK TIME: 20 MINUTES  TOTAL TIME: 40 MINUTES

Heat oven to 400F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

Make the biscuits: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, brown 
sugar, baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt and baking soda. Use a pastry 
blender or fingers to cut 6 tablespoons cold butter into flour 
mixture until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together mashed sweet potato and 
cold buttermilk. Use a rubber spatula to stir sweet potato mixture 
into flour mixture until nearly combined.

Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface; gently shape dough into a 
cohesive ball. Gently pat dough into a 1-inch-tall square. Using a 
sharp knife or bench scraper, cut dough into 9 equal pieces (3 rows 
by 3 rows). Place dough squares on parchment paper-lined baking sheet 
spaced at least 2 inches apart. Bake biscuits 15 to 18 minutes or 
until lightly browned and baked through.

Meanwhile, make the marshmallow icing: In a large bowl, whisk 
together 3/4 cup powdered sugar, vanilla and pinch salt. In a small 
saucepan over medium heat, heat 1 1/2 tablespoons butter and water 
until butter is melted. Add marshmallows; stir 1 to 2 minutes until 
melted and smooth.

Stir marshmallow mixture into powdered sugar mixture, whisking until 
a smooth but thick glaze forms. Add just enough remaining 1/2 cup 
powdered sugar until icing is very thick but smooth and spreadable.

Spoon, spread or drizzle marshmallow icing on top of warm biscuits, 
about 1 tablespoon per biscuit. Serve immediately.

Notes: To quickly make mashed sweet potato, I used pre-cut sweet 
potato chunks in a microwavable bag. I cooked them until they were 
very tender and soft, then gave them a whir in the food processor until smooth.

Don't have buttermilk? You can make your own buttermilk substitute by 
following this simple formula: For every 1 cup buttermilk needed in a 
recipe, combine 1 tablespoon lemon juice or white vinegar + enough 
milk to yield 1 cup total. (In the case of this recipe, which calls 
for 3/4 cup buttermilk, I combined 2 teaspoons white vinegar + enough 
milk to yield 3/4 cup total.)

Biscuits (without icing) can be stored in an airtight container at 
room temperature for up to 2 days.
