Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound (about 4) sweet potatoes
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting

SWEET POTATO BISCUITS



Sweet Potato Biscuits image

Provided by Trisha Yearwood

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.

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.

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.

Tips:

  • To achieve the best results, use fresh, high-quality ingredients. Choose sweet potatoes that are firm and free of blemishes, and make sure the butter and milk are cold.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • Be careful not to overmix the dough. Overmixing will result in tough biscuits.
  • If you're short on time, you can skip the chilling step and bake the biscuits immediately. However, chilling the dough will result in flakier biscuits.
  • Bake the biscuits until they are golden brown on top and cooked through in the center. This will take about 12-15 minutes.

Conclusion:

These spiced sweet potato biscuits are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They're moist, fluffy, and full of flavor, and they're sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a special breakfast or snack, give these biscuits a try. You won't be disappointed!
