honey

🥗Healthier: maple syrup

ham

🥗Healthier: turkey ham

💰Cheaper: bologna

Turkey ham is a leaner alternative with lower sodium.

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

Boil the sweet potato cubes until tender, about 15 minutes.

Drain and mash the sweet potatoes until smooth.

In a large bowl, combine flour, dark brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cayenne pepper.

Cut in the chilled butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Stir in the mashed sweet potatoes and buttermilk until just combined.

Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead gently a few times.

Roll out to about 1-inch thickness and cut into rounds.

Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.

While biscuits bake, prepare the ham by slicing it thinly.

Once biscuits are done, slice them in half and layer with ham, Dijon mustard, and honey.
