These are delicious! My 18-month-old loved them! I didn’t have baking mix so I added 2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt to 1 1/4 cups whole wheat flour. I also don’t eat dairy, so I substituted almond milk for the buttermilk and used 1 tablespoon coconut oil and 1 tablespoon non-dairy spread (Earth Balance) instead of the butter. They turned out great!

Awesome. Thanks for sharing your feedback, Jackie.
Have you tried freezing these? Success/Failure/Unknown? 🙂
I have not, but I would guess that you can freeze them in a ziplock bag after you baked and cooled them. I do this with muffins all the time and it works great. You can wrap them in a moist paper towel and warm for about 30 seconds in the microwave, or just let them thaw on the counter.
Btw, just realized I was talking to the one and only Devin! Miss you, lady.
Is yours a drop biscuit recipe? That's what this one is. If so, I bet you could add sweet potato. I add in veggies like this to my pancakes all the time. As long as I don't go overboard, it doesn't seem to affect the texture much. Thanks for visiting my blog!
Hmmm… This is very similar to my regular biscuit recipe (just SR flour, crisco, buttermilk), I wonder if I could just add a sweet potato without changing to biscuit mix?
