Time 1h20m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

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
1 ½ tablespoons granulated sugar
1 ½ tablespoons dark brown sugar
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
½ teaspoon baking soda
2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed
⅓ cup buttermilk, plus 2 tablespoons
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Steps:

  • Make the spicy honey butter: Place the butter in a large bowl. Beat with an electric hand mixer on low speed for about 2 minutes, or until smooth. Increase the speed to medium and add the honey, vanilla, cinnamon, salt, and cayenne and beat until well combined, about 2 minutes.
  • 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!

VINTAGE SWEET POTATO BISCUITS WITH HONEY BUTTER

Provided by Claire Thomas : Food Network

Categories     side-dish

Time 35m

Yield about 15 biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 12

3/4 cup cooked mashed sweet potatoes
2/3 cup milk
1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted
1 1/4 cups sifted bread flour, plus more for dusting
2 tablespoons baking powder
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
3 tablespoons honey

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Make the biscuits: Place the sweet potatoes, milk and melted butter in a large bowl and stir until thoroughly combined.
  • Set a sifter or fine-mesh sieve over a medium bowl. Resift the 1 1/4 cups flour into the bowl, then sift in the remaining dry ingredients and whisk together. Transfer the dry ingredients to the sweet potato mixture and stir just until a soft dough forms (it'll be pretty sticky).
  • Turn the dough onto a lightly floured board and toss until smooth. Roll out the dough 1/2 inch thick, then stamp out as many biscuits as you can (about 15) with a 1- to 1 1/2-inch floured biscuit cutter. Place the biscuits on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake until just golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the honey butter: Simply whisk together the butter, salt and honey in a small bowl until smooth.
  • Serve the sweet potato biscuits warm with the honey butter.

Tips:

  • Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for firm, unblemished sweet potatoes that are about the same size. This will ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Cook the sweet potatoes until they are very tender: This will make them easier to mash and will help the biscuits to be light and fluffy.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will make the biscuits tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before rolling it out: This will help the biscuits to hold their shape and will prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the biscuits in a hot oven: This will help them to rise quickly and will give them a crispy exterior.
  • Serve the biscuits warm with honey butter: This is the classic way to enjoy sweet potato biscuits, and it's absolutely delicious.

Conclusion:

Sweet potato biscuits are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are light and fluffy, with a slightly sweet flavor that is complemented perfectly by the honey butter. Whether you are serving them for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, these biscuits are sure to be a hit. So next time you are looking for a new recipe to try, give these sweet potato biscuits a try. You won't be disappointed!
