  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and kosher salt.
  3. Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the flour mixture and cut it into the flour until it resembles pea-sized crumbs.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine the sweet potato purée with the buttermilk until smooth.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, folding gently with a spatula.
  6. Transfer the biscuit dough onto a lightly floured surface and shape into a 1-inch thick circle.
