INGREDIENTS
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon (optional for warmth)
- 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubed
- ¾ cup mashed cooked sweet potato (about 1 medium potato)
- ⅔ cup buttermilk (plus 1–2 tablespoons more if needed)
- ½ cup Naturipe Cranberries (fresh or frozen; if large, roughly chop)
DIRECTIONS
- Prep the oven: Preheat to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
- Cut in butter: Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to work the butter into the flour until pea-sized crumbs form.
- Add wet ingredients: Stir in mashed sweet potato and buttermilk until just combined – don’t overmix! If dough feels too dry, add a tablespoon or two of extra buttermilk.
- Fold in berries: Gently fold in Naturipe Cranberries.
- Drop and bake: Scoop heaping spoonfuls of dough (about ¼ cup each) onto the baking sheet, spacing 2 inches apart. Bake 15–18 minutes, or until golden on top and lightly crisp around the edges.
- Cool slightly: Serve warm with butter, honey, or a drizzle of maple syrup.
Chef’s Tip:
For a festive twist, brush the tops with melted butter and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt right after baking.
