I originally planned for these sweet
potato biscuits to be this year’s Thanksgiving leftover recipe, but they came
out so well, I decided to upgrade them, and I’m now officially suggesting you
make these as one of the centerpieces for your feast. The downside of that plan
is that you’ll have to share them with your guests.
Adding things like mashed sweet
potatoes can cause all sorts of issues in a biscuit recipe, since they need to
take the place of some of your “wet” ingredients, and considering how much
thicker they are than something like buttermilk, over-mixing the dough can
occur. By the time the potato mixture is incorporated, you can develop too much
gluten, which can make biscuits tough.
So, to protect against that, we’ll do
most of the mixing while we form and fold our dough on the work surface. Not
only does this make for a tender biscuit, but as you saw, we also get lots of beautifully
buttery layers.
These are amazing with just plain
butter, but for a little seasonal twist, I made a pomegranate spread, and have explained
how to do that below. No matter what you serve this with, I really do hope you
give these amazing sweet potato biscuits a try soon Enjoy!
Ingredients for 8 large or 12 normally sized Sweet
Potato Biscuits:
1 1/2 cup mashed orange sweet potatoes (cooked in
