These biscuits are a bit too dense for my taste. I think I would prefer a lighter and fluffier biscuit.

I love that these biscuits are made with whole wheat flour. They are a healthier option than traditional biscuits.

I'm not a big fan of sweet potato, but these biscuits were actually really good! The sweet potato flavor was subtle and it didn't overpower the other flavors.

These biscuits are a bit dry. I think I would add some more butter or milk next time.

I had some trouble getting the biscuits to rise. I think I may have overmixed the dough.

These biscuits are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they are still good. I would recommend using less sugar next time.
