Buttery Sweet Potato Biscuits Recipes

SWEET POTATO BISCUITS WITH HONEY BUTTER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the mashed sweet potatoes and ⅓ cup milk. Set aside.
• In the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt; process for a few seconds to mix. Add the chunks of cold butter, then pulse a few times until the mixture resembles coarse meal with some pea-size chunks of butter within. (If you don't have a food processor, this can be done by hand with a pastry cutter or your hands.)
• Transfer the flour mixture to a medium bowl, then add the sweet potato mixture and fold gently to combine. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons milk a little at a time until the dough is just moistened and holds together (you may not need all of it).
• Sprinkle a small handful of flour on a work surface. Turn the dough out onto the surface and knead lightly 2 or 3 times with the palm of your hand until the mixture comes together. Pat the dough into a ¾-inch round. Using a 2½ inch-round biscuit cutter or glass, cut the dough into biscuits. Gently press the scraps into another round and cut out more biscuits. Place the biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet and bake until golden on the bottom and firm to the touch, 12-14 minutes. Serve warm with honey butter.
• In a small bowl, beat together the butter, honey and cinnamon.
• Note: The nutritional information does not include the honey butter.
• Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The biscuits can be baked and then frozen in an airtight container or sealable plastic bag for up to 3 months. To reheat, wrap them in aluminum foil and warm in a 350°F oven until hot.

• Bring a medium pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add the sweet potatoes to the boiling water and cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain, then mash with a fork or potato masher until smooth. Let cool completely.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, salt, baking soda, and baking powder.
• Add the butter to the flour mixture and toss to coat. Using your hands or 2 forks, work the butter into the flour until it resembles a coarse meal.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together ¾ cup (255 G) of the mashed sweet potatoes and the buttermilk.
• Add to the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix with a fork to combine. Knead the mixture with your hands until it comes together in a shaggy dough.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat into a 1-inch (2 ½ cm) thick square. Using a large knife or bench scraper, cut the square in half lengthwise, then crosswise into quarters, creating 8 rectangular biscuits.
• Brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter. Bake until golden on top, about 20 minutes. Let the biscuits cool on the pan for 10 minutes.
• Serve the biscuits warm with the spicy honey butter.
• Enjoy!

SWEET-POTATO BISCUITS

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.

CHEF JOHN'S SWEET POTATO BISCUITS

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.

FLAKY SWEET POTATO BISCUITS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, baking powder and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the sweet potato, milk and honey just until moistened. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead 5-8 times. Pat out to 1/2-in. thickness; cut with a floured 2-in. biscuit cutter., Place 2 in. apart on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 400° for 14-18 minutes or until lightly browned. Serve warm.

SWEET POTATO BISCUITS

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.

VINTAGE SWEET POTATO BISCUITS WITH HONEY BUTTER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Make the biscuits: Place the sweet potatoes, milk and melted butter in a large bowl and stir until thoroughly combined.
• Set a sifter or fine-mesh sieve over a medium bowl. Resift the 1 1/4 cups flour into the bowl, then sift in the remaining dry ingredients and whisk together. Transfer the dry ingredients to the sweet potato mixture and stir just until a soft dough forms (it'll be pretty sticky).
• Turn the dough onto a lightly floured board and toss until smooth. Roll out the dough 1/2 inch thick, then stamp out as many biscuits as you can (about 15) with a 1- to 1 1/2-inch floured biscuit cutter. Place the biscuits on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake until just golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the honey butter: Simply whisk together the butter, salt and honey in a small bowl until smooth.
• Serve the sweet potato biscuits warm with the honey butter.
