Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour

• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• ¾ cup butter
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream
• ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

Step 2

Whisk flour, baking powder, sugar, pepper, baking soda, and salt together in a large mixing bowl. Cut butter into the flour mixture with a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir sweet potatoes and cream into the flour mixture until the dough is soft.

Step 3

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface; knead the dough, turning over about 5 times. Roll to about 1/2-inch thick. Cut 2-inch circles out of dough and arrange on a baking sheet.

Step 4

Bake in preheated oven until lightly browned, 12 to 15 minutes.
