Categories     Breakfast     Side Dish

Time 33m

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 cups self-rising flour ((such as White Lily brand))
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
½ cup (1 stick) salted butter, cubed and chilled
1 ½ cups cold mashed cooked sweet potatoes
¾ cup cold whole buttermilk, plus more as needed
1 tablespoon salted butter, melted

Steps:

  • Lightly oil or grease a 10-inch cast iron skillet, or line with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together self-rising flour and sugar.
  • Use a pastry blender or two forks to cut in the cold butter until the mixture is crumbly and some pea-size pieces of butter remain.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together mashed sweet potatoes and buttermilk. Stir the potato mixture into the flour mixture just until the dry ingredients are moistened. If the dough is too dry, add a little bit more buttermilk. If the dough is too sticky to work with, add a bit more flour.
  • Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead 4-6 times.
  • Press dough to 1-inch thickness.
  • Using a round biscuit cutter dipped in flour, cut out biscuits and arrange in the cast iron skillet. Roll out the scraps once, and cut additional biscuits if necessary. Do not continue rolling and cutting or you may end up with tough biscuits.
  • Place the skillet in the freezer for 10-15 minutes so that the dough can chill while you preheat the oven.
  • Preheat oven to 450°F.
  • Bake biscuits until golden brown and cooked through, about 15-20 minutes. Brush warm biscuits with melted butter and enjoy!

GRANDMA'S SWEET POTATO CRUNCH (ALSO CALLED SWEET POTATO SOUFFLE)



Grandma's Sweet Potato Crunch (Also Called Sweet Potato Souffle) image

My grandma did not like marshmallows on her sweet potatoes, but she would make it half and half for the kids. When she would make this for the holidays there was always a little Maker's Mark in it, but you can also leave the bourbon out if you don't have any on hand. I make mine just like she always did, and I still sneak into the fridge with a spoon and go after these potatoes! This recipe makes enough for about 6-8 people, but we usually double it since it's so good cold.

Time 1h30m

Yield 2 1/2 quart dish, 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 large sweet potatoes
1/4 cup butter, room temperature
2 eggs, beaten
1/3 cup evaporated milk
1 teaspoon vanilla, good vanilla
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup Bourbon (optional)
cooking spray
1/3 cup butter, melted and cooled
1 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup flour
1 cup pecans, chopped
mini marshmallows (optional)

Steps:

  • Bake the sweet potatoes at 350 degrees until tender, approx 45 minutes - 1 hour. Remove the outer skins of the potatoes and mash them.
  • Combine potatoes and the remaining ingredients with a mixer.
  • NOTE: If you make this ahead of time, do not add the bourbon until you are ready to bake. I have made that mistake once, and the bourbon taste gets STRONG and overpowers the potatoes!
  • Spread into a sprayed baking dish. I use a 2 1/2 quart round Corningware dish.
  • For the topping: Mix all ingredients together except for the marshmallows. Spread the topping in an even layer over the potatoes.
  • Sprinkle the marshmallows on top if you are using them. I don't like them, so I leave them off.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 30-45 minutes, or until the top gets brown and crunchy.

Tips:

  • Use Fresh Sweet Potatoes: Freshly cooked or baked sweet potatoes yield the best flavor and texture in these biscuits.
  • Don't Overwork the Dough: Overworking the dough can make the biscuits tough. Mix the ingredients just until they come together.
  • Chill the Dough: Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes helps the biscuits hold their shape and prevents them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the Biscuits Until Golden Brown: The biscuits are done baking when they are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Serve Warm: Sweet potato biscuits are best served warm out of the oven. You can also reheat them in a 300°F oven for 10-15 minutes.

Conclusion:

These sweet potato biscuits are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or snack. They are perfect for using up leftover sweet potatoes and are a great way to add some extra nutrition to your diet. With their tender, fluffy texture and slightly sweet flavor, these biscuits are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
