   Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1                cup  all-purpose flour -- *see note
   1                cup  whole wheat flour -- *see note
   4          teaspoons  baking powder
      1/2      teaspoon  baking soda
   1           teaspoon  sugar
      1/2      teaspoon  salt
      1/2           cup  butter -- salted, cold, cubed
   1                cup  buttermilk -- cold, plus more as needed
      1/2           cup  sweet potato -- cooked, cooled, and mashed

*note: You can replace all 2 cups of flour with white whole wheat 
flour (make sure it's the "white" variety). They will turn out the 
same but will be 100% whole grain!

Preheat oven to 450F. (Cover a sheet pan with parchment for easy clean up.)

To a medium mixing bowl, add the flours, baking powder, baking soda, 
sugar, and salt. Whisk until combined.

Cut the cubed butter into the dry mix using a fork or pastry cutter 
until it's broken down into pea-sized pieces. This will take a few 
minutes and some elbow grease.

In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and sweet 
potato until it is as smooth as possible. You will inevitably have 
some small pieces remaining and that's ok. (Or put these ingredients 
in the blender and blend away.)

Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir together just until a dough forms.

Place the dough onto a floured surface. Form the dough into a ball, 
sprinkle with a little flour, and roll it out about 3/4-inch thick. 
Cut out biscuits using a 3-inch biscuit cutter or upside-down glass. 
Lay the biscuits on a sheet pan, making sure they don't touch.

Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until starting to turn golden on top.

Freeze For Later: Instead of baking, dust the cut-out biscuits on the 
sheet pan with a little more flour and flash freeze for about 2 hours 
until frozen solid. Toss biscuits into a gallon-size freezer bag, 
seal, and freeze.

Prepare From Frozen: Place frozen biscuits on a parchment-lined sheet 
pan. Thaw completely on the counter or refrigerator and bake as 
specified above.

You can also freeze the biscuits after baking.
