Time 30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
¼ cup sugar
¼ cup butter or margarine
1 ½ cups leftover mashed potatoes
1 egg, beaten
⅓ cup cold water
⅓ cup milk
2 tablespoons milk, or as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
  • In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Cut in butter, until pieces of butter are no larger than peas. Use a fork to stir in mashed potatoes, breaking them up into chunks. Make a well in the mixture, and pour in egg, water and milk. Stir into a loose dough using the fork.
  • Turn dough out onto a floured surface, and knead for 6 or 8 times so the dough holds together. Pat the dough out to about 3/4 inch thickness, and cut into circles with a biscuit cutter or drinking glass. Place biscuits onto an ungreased baking sheet. Brush the tops with 2 tablespoons milk.
  • Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until bottoms are golden.

Tips:

  • Use the right potatoes: Russet potatoes are the best choice for pillow potato biscuits because they are starchy and have a high moisture content. This will help the biscuits to be light and fluffy.
  • Cook the potatoes properly: The potatoes should be cooked until they are tender but not mushy. If the potatoes are overcooked, the biscuits will be dense and gummy.
  • Mash the potatoes thoroughly: The potatoes should be mashed until they are smooth and free of lumps. This will help the biscuits to be evenly textured.
  • Use cold butter: Cold butter will help to create flaky layers in the biscuits. If the butter is too warm, it will melt into the dough and the biscuits will be greasy.
  • Do not overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will develop the gluten in the flour, which will make the biscuits tough. Mix the dough just until it comes together.
  • Let the dough rest: Letting the dough rest for at least 30 minutes will help it to relax and become easier to work with. This will also help the biscuits to rise more evenly.
  • Bake the biscuits at a high temperature: Baking the biscuits at a high temperature will help them to rise quickly and develop a golden brown crust.

Conclusion:

Pillow potato biscuits are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that can be served with any meal. They are light and fluffy, with a slightly crispy crust. The addition of potatoes gives them a unique flavor and texture that is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you are looking for a side dish that is both delicious and easy to make, give pillow potato biscuits a try.
