Tested & Perfected Recipes
At about four o’clock on Thanksgiving day, when I was knee-deep in cooking, I realized that I had forgotten to buy bread to serve with dinner. It was too late to send my husband to the store, so as soon as my sister walked through the door I handed her a stack of cookbooks and said, “Find an easy biscuit recipe.” Wisely, she settled on these Fluffy Sweet Potato Biscuits from Paula Deen’s Southern Cooking Bible. They were such a hit, my family asked me to make them again for breakfast the next day. I did, and we slathered them with honey butter, which made them even better.
WHAT YOU’LL NEED TO MAKE SWEET POTATO BISCUITS
HOW TO MAKE SWEET POTATO BISCUITS
To begin, boil the sweet potatoes until very soft.
Drain, then mash them with the milk until smooth, and set aside.
Next, combine the flour, sugar, salt and baking powder in the bowl of a food processor.
Add the butter in chunks.
And then process until the mixture resembles coarse meal. (If you don’t want to bother with a food processor, you can also use your hands or a pastry cutter.)
Transfer the flour mixture to a bowl and add the sweet potato mixture.
Fold, adding more milk as necessary, until mixture just holds together.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead a few times.
Then press the dough into a circle about 3/4-inch high.
Using a biscuit cutter or glass, cut out rounds, then place the biscuits on a parchment lined baking sheet.
Bake for 12-14 minutes, until golden on the bottom and firm to the touch.
Meanwhile, make the honey butter by combining softened butter, honey and cinnamon in a bowl.
Serve the biscuits warm out of the oven with honey butter. Enjoy!
