Sweet Potato Biscuits With Ham Mustard And Honey Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Put the sweet potatoes, 2 1/2 cups flour, butter, brown sugar, baking powder, and cream in a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment or food processor and process until the dough has small lumps of sweet potato and butter remaining.
• Roll the dough out onto floured surface to 1/2-inch thick loosely in the shape of a rectangle.
• Cut into 1 1/2-inch squares for appetizers or 2-inch squares for biscuits. Cook's Note: A dough cutting tool or bench scraper works well.
• Place the biscuits on a baking sheet, not touching, and bake for 15 minutes. Biscuits will be firm but not brown.
• Serve the biscuits at room temperature with slice of honey baked ham and Creole mustard, if desired. Cook's Note: Biscuits are rustic so don't slice ham perfectly, torn slices work well.

Steps:

• For the biscuits: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Poke the sweet potatoes with the tines of a fork and bake until tender, about 1 hour. Let the potatoes cool, and then peel them, discarding the skins.
• In a food processor, puree the potatoes with the buttermilk and nutmeg until smooth.
• Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda and salt. With your fingertips or a dough cutter, cut in the cold butter until pea-size chunks are formed. Fold in the sweet potato puree until just combined, being careful not to overwork.
• Dust a work surface with some flour and turn the biscuit dough onto the counter. Form the dough into a 3/4-inch-thick disc. Using a 2 1/4-inch round biscuit cutter, cut out 14 biscuits, starting on the outside of the disk and working your way in. You may need to reshape the last bits of dough back into a disk to get all 14 rounds.
• Grease a 10-inch cast-iron skillet with the vegetable oil and place the biscuits in the skillet, working from the center out. The biscuits should be a tight fit and nestled against each other. Brush the biscuit tops with the melted butter and bake until golden, 15 to 18 minutes.
• For the sandwich build: Split the hot biscuits, place some of the torn ham on the bottom half, drizzle the Blackberry Balsamic Drizzle over the ham and then pile some arugula on top for a peppery bite.
• Combine the preserves, basil, vinegar, mustard, peppercorns and chile in a medium saucepot on the stove. Set over medium heat. Simmer the sauce until thickened, 7 to 10 minutes. Strain the reduction through a fine sieve. Thin with water if needed.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the first 6 ingredients. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Combine sweet potatoes and cream; stir into crumb mixture just until moistened. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; gently knead 8-10 times., Pat or roll out to 1/2-in. thickness; cut with a floured 2-1/2-in. biscuit cutter. Reroll and repeat once. Place 1 in. apart on a greased baking sheet., Bake at 400° for 9-11 minutes or until golden brown. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, beat the butter, honey and cinnamon until blended. Serve with warm biscuits.
