Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Peel and boil 1 cup of sweet potatoes for 15-20 minutes until fork-tender, then mash them in a bowl.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together 2 cups of flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1 teaspoon of salt.
  4. Cut 1/2 cup of cold butter into the dry mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs, then fold in the mashed sweet potatoes.

  8. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden on top and puffy, then brush with melted butter before serving.
