SWEET BISCUITS FOR BREAKFAST OR SHORTCAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400, I place a rack in lowest position in the oven.
• Combine dry ingredients.
• Cut in butter.
• Stir in liquid until it just begins to pull from the sides- it will be pretty moist.
• Spread 1/4 C flour on a pastry board and dump the dough onto the flour.
• Gently turn the dough until all sides are covered with flour.
• Knead by gently rubbing the dough into the flour, a scant 8 to 10 turns.
• Pat the dough into a 1 inch thich slab.
• Cut into rounds with a sharp round biscuit cutter- I use a 2 1/2 inch cutter-- you can push the scraps together to make room to cut a few more, try not to knead it too much.
• Place on insulated cookie sheet about 1/2 inch apart.
• Put in HOT oven and bake for 12- 15 minutes.
• You can test by lifting the top layer of the center biscuit; if it's done it will look dry inside and the edges will be golden.
• (I get 9 biscuits when I use a 2 1/2" cutter).

SWEET POTATO BISCUITS WITH HONEY BUTTER RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Make the spicy honey butter: Place the butter in a large bowl. Beat with an electric hand mixer on low speed for about 2 minutes, or until smooth. Increase the speed to medium and add the honey, vanilla, cinnamon, salt, and cayenne and beat until well combined, about 2 minutes.
• Spoon the butter onto a piece of parchment paper or plastic wrap. Roll into a log and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. The butter will keep in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
• Make the biscuits: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• 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!
