  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 12 tablespoons cold butter
  • 1 cup mashed roasted sweet potatoes

  1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Grease a 1/2 sheet pan.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar together.
  3. Add the butter, and with your hands, work the butter into the flour mixture until the mixture resembles a coarse cornmeal.
  4. Stir in the sweet potatoes and pecans.
