SPICY SWEET-POTATO BISCUITS

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes     Bread Recipes

Yield Makes 12

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound (about 4) sweet potatoes
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
4 teaspoons baking powder
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, chilled
1/4 cup milk

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. Wash sweet potatoes, and prick all over with a fork. Place on a baking sheet; bake until soft, about 1 hour. (The juices will start to run out.) When cool enough to handle, scoop out flesh and press through a sieve (you should have 1 3/4 cups of puree). Set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and cayenne. With a pastry cutter or two knives, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse meal.
  • In another bowl, whisk together milk and sweet-potato puree. Add to dry ingredients, and mix until well combined.
  • Place dough on a lightly floured surface; knead once or twice, and pat out to 1/2 inch thick. Cut out biscuits with a floured 2-inch-round cutter. Bake on parchment-lined baking sheet until golden brown, about 20 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: For the best results, use sweet potatoes that are firm and free of blemishes. Avoid potatoes that are soft or have any signs of bruising or decay.
  • Cook the potatoes thoroughly: To ensure that the biscuits are cooked through, make sure that the potatoes are fully cooked before mashing them. You can check this by inserting a fork into the center of a potato; if the fork goes in easily, the potato is cooked.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the biscuits tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined, and then stop.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough before baking will help the biscuits to rise and become flaky. You can chill the dough for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Bake the biscuits at a high temperature: To get the best results, bake the biscuits at a high temperature so that they rise quickly and become crispy.

Conclusion:

These spicy sweet potato biscuits are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are soft and fluffy on the inside, with a crispy exterior and a slightly spicy flavor. Whether you're serving them for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, these biscuits are sure to be a hit.
