CHEF JOHN'S SWEET POTATO BISCUITS



Chef John's Sweet Potato Biscuits image

This would be a great way to use leftover Thanksgiving sweet potatoes, but they're even better right on that holiday table with the rest of the feast. By forming and folding dough, we develop beautifully buttery layers and avoid overmixing. These were delicious with the pomegranate spread.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     Bread     Quick Bread Recipes     Biscuits

Time 40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 large orange-fleshed sweet potato, peeled
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon brown sugar
½ cup buttermilk
3 ¼ cups self-rising flour
1 ½ sticks unsalted butter, frozen
1 tablespoon melted butter
4 tablespoons butter, room temperature
1 teaspoon pomegranate molasses
1 teaspoon pomegranate juice
Fresh pomegranate seeds for garnish

Steps:

  • Cut sweet potato in half lengthwise. Cut each in half again lengthwise, then in half cross-wise. Cut each piece in half to make about 16 evenly sized chunks. Transfer into pot; cover with water and add salt. Bring to a simmer on high heat; reduce heat to medium-low and cook until potatoes are tender, about 17 minutes. Drain thoroughly; return to pot and mash potatoes. You will need 1 1/2 cups mashed sweet potatoes. Cool thoroughly.
  • Transfer cooled mashed potatoes to a mixing bowl. Add brown sugar and buttermilk. Mix together until well combined.
  • Place self-rising flour in a separate mixing bowl. Grate frozen butter into flour, tossing with a fork to coat with flour after each addition of about 1/3 to 1/2 stick. This will prevent butter from clumping. Mixture should look like floury pieces of butter. Add sweet potato mixture. Toss with a fork until evenly distributed, but don't overmix.
  • Transfer mixture onto a lightly floured work surface. Push and press mixture together into a rectangular shape, about 1 1/2 inches thick. Dough will be floury and a bit crumbly. Fold rectangle into thirds, lifting up one-third and folding onto the middle and doing the same with the other side. Dust with a bit of flour if sticking.
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with a silicone mat.
  • Press dough into a rectangle again, about 1 inch thick. Repeat the tri-fold step. Press out into a rectangle, about 1 inch thick. Trim off the rough edges to square off the sides; this will maximize rising. Cut into 8 equal portions. Transfer to prepared baking pan, spacing biscuits evenly. Brush tops lightly with 1 tablespoon melted butter.
  • Bake in preheated oven until browned, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool slightly before serving.
  • Mix 4 tablespoons butter (room temperature), pomegranate syrup, and pomegranate juice together in a small bowl. Spread on warm biscuits. Sprinkle with a few pomegranate seeds for garnish.

SWEET POTATO DROP BISCUITS



Sweet Potato Drop Biscuits image

These biscuits, from my own original recipe, are light, rich, moist and slightly spicy. The sweet potato flavor is pronounced but not overpowering. They're great for breakfast, but since they aren't sweet, they work well as a side dish for lunch or dinner, too.

Provided by Annes Kitchen

Categories     Breakfast

Time 1h50m

Yield 12 large biscuits, 6-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups unbleached white flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh nutmeg
1/4-1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut in 1/4-inch cubes and chilled in freezer
1 cup sweet potato, cooked and mashed*
1/2 cup plain yogurt (or buttermilk)
1 tablespoon light brown sugar (or agave nectar)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425Ëš.
  • Sift dry ingredients together into food processor. Pulse to blend. Add cold butter and pulse several times, until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Turn mixture out into mixing bowl.
  • Combine sweet potato, yogurt and sugar or agave nectar in processor and run for several seconds to blend thoroughly.
  • Add sweet potato mixture to flour mixture and stir together briefly, just until all flour is incorporated and dough forms a ball. (Mixture may be sticky.) Do not overwork the dough.
  • Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Using a cookie scoop-either ½ or ¼ cup capacity-scoop uniform mounds onto sheets. You can get 5 large or 10 small biscuits onto each cookie sheet.
  • Bake until biscuits are set and just start to brown: about 20 minutes for large and 15 minutes for the small size.
  • These are best served hot (with butter if desired). They can be reheated on a baking sheet for 5 minutes at 400Ëš: good as new.
  • * Use 2 small-to-medium sweet potatoes baked whole for 1 hour at 375Ëš and scooped out. I also made this w/ 1 giant sweet potato (1 1/4 cup): excellent! Very sticky batter, but biscuits were light, moist and nicely peppery.
  • Makes about 12 medium or 24 small (bite size) biscuits.

SWEET-POTATO BISCUITS



Sweet-Potato Biscuits image

Orange sweet potatoes give a soft texture and a beautiful golden color to these fluffy biscuits, perfect to serve with Thanksgiving dinner.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes     Bread Recipes

Time 1h20m

Yield Makes 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 3/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour, plus more for kneading and shaping
2 tablespoons light-brown sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
6 tablespoons chilled unsalted butter, cut into pieces, plus 1/2 tablespoon melted butter and more for pan
3/4 cup Sweet Potato Puree, chilled
1/3 cup buttermilk

Steps:

  • Make the dough: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. With a pastry blender or 2 knives, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse meal, with some pea-sized lumps of butter remaining. In a small bowl, whisk together sweet potato puree and buttermilk; stir quickly into flour mixture until combined (do not overmix).
  • Shape the biscuits: Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface, and knead very gently until dough comes together but is still slightly lumpy, 5 or 6 times. (If dough is too sticky, work in up to 1/4 cup additional flour.) Shape into a disk, and pat to an even 1-inch thickness. With a floured 2-inch biscuit cutter, cut out biscuits as close together as possible. Gather together scraps, and repeat to cut out more biscuits (do not reuse scraps more than once).
  • Bake the biscuits: Preheat oven to 425 degrees, with rack on lower shelf. Butter an 8-inch cake pan. Arrange biscuits snugly in pan (to help them stay upright). Brush with melted butter. Bake until golden, rotating once, 20 to 24 minutes.

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.

Categories     quick breads, side dish

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.
