Forget dry, lifeless biscuits. These sweet potato biscuits are soft, buttery, and ridiculously fluffy, thanks to the magic of mashed sweet potatoes. The warm spices make them taste like a cozy autumn morning, even if it’s summer. But let’s talk about the real star here—the coffee drizzle. It’s bold, slightly sweet, and turns these biscuits into something dangerously addictive. Whether you eat them for breakfast or smother them in extra butter just because you can, they won’t last long. Flaky, golden, and covered in coffee goodness—this is what biscuits should always be.
