SWEET POTATO BISCUITS

Categories     side-dish

Time 50m

Yield 16 biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 cups self-rising flour
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon apple pie spice
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons very cold unsalted butter, cubed
3 small sweet potatoes, roasted and peeled (about 1 1/3 cups mashed)
1 to 2 cups low-fat buttermilk
All-purpose flour, for counter
Nonstick cooking spray, for the skillet
Salted butter and honey, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Place a large cast-iron skillet in the oven to preheat.
  • Combine the self-rising flour, salt and apple pie spice in a food processor with several pulses. Drop in 1 cup cold butter cubes and pulse until pea-sized crumbs are formed in the flour. Dump this flour mixture into a large bowl. Process the sweet potato flesh in the same food processor bowl until mashed. Pour in 1 cup of the buttermilk and pulse until a smooth puree is formed. Scrape the potato mixture into the mixing bowl. Use your hands to gently pull the flour into the potato mixture, adding more buttermilk as needed to reach a moist dough. Dump the dough out onto a floured surface and press into a 1-inch-thick square. Cut out 16 square biscuits with a bench scraper, re-rolling scraps as necessary.
  • Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a small bowl in the microwave.
  • Remove the skillet from the oven and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Carefully place the biscuits in the skillet (it's okay if they touch). Brush the tops of the biscuits with the melted butter. Place the skillet back in the oven.
  • Bake the biscuits until fluffy and lightly golden on top, 16 to 18 minutes. Serve warm with butter and honey.

SWEET POTATO BISCUITS



Sweet Potato Biscuits image

Chunks of baked sweet potato enhance warm, tender and flaky biscuits, which also get a savory lift from sliced scallions. To achieve distinct biscuit layers, an integral characteristic of this quick bread, keep your butter cold and work quickly when folding. You can chill the dough in between steps if needed to keep the butter solid, because cold, hard butter will help the dough maintain its layered structure in the oven. Serve the biscuits piping hot right out the oven, broken open and slathered with a generous smear of the spiced honey butter. The sweet potato can be baked in advance and refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days. The spiced honey butter can be prepared up to a week in advance.

Time 2h10m

Yield 12 biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 medium sweet potato (11 to 14 ounces), scrubbed
4 cups/526 grams all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling the dough
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
2 teaspoons kosher salt (Diamond Crystal)
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup/170 grams cold unsalted butter, cut into ½-inch cubes
2 scallions, trimmed and thinly sliced (1/3 cup)
1 1/4 cups buttermilk
1/2 cup/114 grams unsalted butter, room temperature
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (Diamond Crystal)
2 tablespoons honey

Steps:

  • Make the biscuits: Heat oven to 375 degrees. Wrap the sweet potato tightly in foil and bake until tender enough for a knife to go in with no resistance, 45 minutes to 1 hour 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool completely. Scoop out 6 ounces/175 grams of cooked sweet potato flesh (about ¾ cup). (The sweet potato can be baked in advance and refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days.) Increase oven temperature to 400 degrees. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and baking soda. Working quickly, rub or cut the cold butter into the dry mixture using your fingers or a pastry cutter until the butter pieces are the size of peas. (Alternatively, use a food processor and pulse the dry ingredients with the butter to cut in the butter.)
  • Add the scallions and toss to coat with the flour mixture. Cut the cooked sweet potato into ½-inch chunks and drop into the bowl, tossing gently to coat with flour so that the pieces stay separated. Make a well in the center and pour in the buttermilk. Use a wooden spoon to stir until a shaggy dough forms. Transfer the dough to a floured work surface.
  • Roll the dough into an 11-by-7-inch rectangle. Use a floured spatula to lift one end of the dough and fold over one-third of the rectangle. Fold the other end over the top as if folding a letter. You should end up with a rectangular piece of folded dough. Lightly flour the surface of the dough and roll again into a 12-by-6-inch rectangle. Use a sharp knife to cut the dough into 12 (2-by-3-inch) rectangles. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 1 ½ inches apart.
  • Bake until biscuits are golden brown and cooked through, rotating the pan about halfway through, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer the biscuits to a wire rack to cool slightly before serving warm.
  • While the biscuits bake, make the honey butter, if you like: In a small bowl, combine the butter, cinnamon, nutmeg, black pepper and salt. Add the honey, and use a fork to cut the ingredients into the butter until incorporated and smooth. Transfer to a small bowl and serve with the warm biscuits. The butter can be covered and refrigerated for up to 7 days. Bring to room temperature before serving.

Yield 8 servings

½ cup unsalted butter, softened
2 tablespoons honey
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon kosher salt
⅛ teaspoon cayenne
1 lb sweet potato, peeled and cubed
2 ½ cups all purpose flour, plus more for dusting

½ teaspoon baking soda
2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed

Steps:

  • Spoon the butter onto a piece of parchment paper or plastic wrap. Roll into a log and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. The butter will keep in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
  • Make the biscuits: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Bring a medium pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add the sweet potatoes to the boiling water and cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain, then mash with a fork or potato masher until smooth. Let cool completely.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, salt, baking soda, and baking powder.
  • Add the butter to the flour mixture and toss to coat. Using your hands or 2 forks, work the butter into the flour until it resembles a coarse meal.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together ¾ cup (255 G) of the mashed sweet potatoes and the buttermilk.
  • Add to the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix with a fork to combine. Knead the mixture with your hands until it comes together in a shaggy dough.
  • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat into a 1-inch (2 ½ cm) thick square. Using a large knife or bench scraper, cut the square in half lengthwise, then crosswise into quarters, creating 8 rectangular biscuits.
  • Brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter. Bake until golden on top, about 20 minutes. Let the biscuits cool on the pan for 10 minutes.
  • Serve the biscuits warm with the spicy honey butter.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for firm, brightly colored sweet potatoes without blemishes. Avoid any that are soft or have bruises.
  • Cook the sweet potatoes until they are very tender: This will ensure that the biscuits are moist and fluffy. You can bake them, boil them, or microwave them until they are easily pierced with a fork.
  • Mash the sweet potatoes until they are smooth: This will help to create a smooth and consistent batter. You can use a potato masher, food processor, or blender.
  • Use a variety of spices: The spices in this recipe are just a suggestion. Feel free to experiment with different combinations to create your own unique flavor profile.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing will make the biscuits tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the biscuits rest before baking: This will help them to rise and become more fluffy.
  • Bake the biscuits until they are golden brown: This will ensure that they are cooked through.

Conclusion:

These spiced sweet potato biscuits are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are moist, fluffy, and full of flavor. Plus, they are a great way to use up leftover sweet potatoes. So next time you have a few extra sweet potatoes on hand, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
