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.

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.

Yield Makes 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pounds sweet potatoes (about 5)
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium shallot, peeled and thinly sliced
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger
2 1/2 teaspoons dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. Prick sweet potatoes. Place on a baking sheet and cook until soft, about 40 minutes. Let cool.

  • For a smoother spread, peel the sweet potatoes before roasting. For a more rustic spread, leave the skins on.
  • Use a variety of sweet potatoes for a more complex flavor. White sweet potatoes have a mild, slightly nutty flavor, while orange sweet potatoes are sweeter and have a more vibrant color.
  • Add a little spice to the spread with a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder. For a sweeter spread, add a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup.
  • Sweet potato butter can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. For longer storage, freeze the spread in an airtight container for up to six months.
