Ingredients
  

Biscuits:

  • 2 -1/4 cups all-purpose flour, divided
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 tablespoon salt
  • 1/2 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/8 teaspoon chipotle powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 cup (cooked) sweet potato, mashed and cooled
  • 1/2 cup very cold (or frozen) butter, diced into very small cubes or grated
  • 1/4 cup buttermilk

Glaze:

  • 1/3  cup melted butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon maple syrup
  • 1/4 teaspoon lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest

Breakfast Biscuit (You will need the following for each sandwich):

  • 1 fried  egg
  • 1 2 ounce fried chorizo patty
  • 1 slice American cheese
  • 1 teaspoon pepitas

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 450°F. Line a baking sheet with foil and coat with cooking spray.
  • Whisk 2 cups of flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, chipotle powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg together in a large mixing bowl.
  • Add cooled mashed sweet potato and mix until combined. Add cold butter and buttermilk. Mix until combined. Mixture will be flaky, but will come together when kneading.
  • Dust a flat surface with the remaining ¼ cup of flour and turn out biscuit dough. Lightly roll out the dough until 1 inch thick, incorporating flour from the surface. Lightly knead about 3 times to build layers into biscuit dough. Dough should be about 1 and 1/2 inches thick.
  • Using a 2-inch round biscuit cutter or a glass that has been dipped in flour, cut each biscuit, cutting straight down then up; no twisting. Repeat until all dough is used up.
  • Place each biscuit on the prepared pan, leaving space for the biscuits to spread. Mix together ingredients for the glaze and spread about 1/2 teaspoon over each biscuit.
  • Bake for 18-21 minutes. Remove from oven and let sit for 10 minutes before removing from pan.
  • Assemble. Cut each biscuit in half horizontally. Add 1 chorizo patty, 1 slice of cheese, and egg to the bottom half. Top with remaining biscuit half. Serve immediately.
  • Serving ideas: Top with diced avocado and pickled jalapenos.
