Tender Potato Biscuits Recipes

Steps:

• Place potato and garlic in a saucepan; cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer until tender. Drain. Add butter, salt and pepper to potato and garlic; mash. In a large bowl, combine flour and baking powder; stir in potato mixture until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add milk and stir well. , Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. Roll out to 1/2-in. thickness. Cut with a floured 2-in. biscuit cutter. Place 1 in. apart on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 450° for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Cut in butter, until pieces of butter are no larger than peas. Use a fork to stir in mashed potatoes, breaking them up into chunks. Make a well in the mixture, and pour in egg, water and milk. Stir into a loose dough using the fork.
• Turn dough out onto a floured surface, and knead for 6 or 8 times so the dough holds together. Pat the dough out to about 3/4 inch thickness, and cut into circles with a biscuit cutter or drinking glass. Place biscuits onto an ungreased baking sheet. Brush the tops with 2 tablespoons milk.
• Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until bottoms are golden.

Steps:

• In a large bowl mix with a fork the flour, baking powder, and salt.
• With a pastry blender cut in shortening and mashed potatoes until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• Stir in milk until mixture is moistened.
• Turn dough out on floured board and knead 6 to 8 times.
• Roll out to about 1/2 inch thick and cut with biscuit cutter.
• Place on baking sheet 1 1/2 inches apart.
• Bake at 450 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown.
• Serve warm with fresh butter or honey.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In another bowl, combine the potatoes, buttermilk, butter and honey; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. , Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead 8-10 times. Pat or roll out to 1/2-in. thickness; cut with a floured 2-1/2-in. biscuit cutter. Place 1 in. apart on an ungreased baking sheet. , Bake at 425° for 8-12 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the flour, Parmesan cheese and garlic salt. Cut in cream cheese until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in milk and yogurt just until moistened., Drop by scant 1/3 cupfuls 2 in. apart onto a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Bake at 400° for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.

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.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine biscuit mix and potato flakes. In a small bowl, whisk milk and sour cream. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. , Drop by heaping tablespoonfuls onto a greased baking sheet. Bake at 400° for 10-12 minutes or until tops begin to brown. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F.
• In a large bowl, combine both flours, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together sour cream, sweet potato and melted butter. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir using a wooden spoon until mixture forms a ball. The dough may seem dry at first but keep stirring.
• Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll out or pat dough to 3/4-inch thickness. Cut into 2 1/4-inch rounds using a biscuit or cookie cutter. Re-roll scraps of dough to make 12 biscuits total. Transfer biscuits to a cookie sheet that has been lightly sprayed with cooking spray. Bake for about 10 minutes, until biscuits have puffed up and are light golden brown. Be careful not to over bake. Serve warm.
• COOKING TIP: Peel, chop and boil the sweet potatoes until tender, then mash well with a fork or puree until smooth in a food processor. Cool before using.
• To save time, buy canned sweet potatoes (drain well) and mash or puree before adding to recipe.

Steps:

• Cut the sweet potatoes into 1 1/2-inch slices. Place the potato slices in a medium saucepan, and cover with water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook until potatoes are tender. Drain and mash well.
• In the detached bowl of an electric mixer, whisk yeast, 1/4 cup warm water (105 degrees), and a pinch of sugar. Set the mixture aside until foamy, about 6 minutes. Attach bowl to mixer fitted with the dough-hook attachment. On low speed, add mashed potatoes, milk, 1/2 cup melted butter, eggs, sugar, and salt. Slowly add flour to make a slightly sticky dough. Knead until smooth, about 2 minutes. Brush inside of a mixing bowl with butter. Place dough in bowl; cover with buttered plastic wrap. Set aside to rise until doubled in size, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
• Line 3 large baking sheets with parchment. Using a floured rolling pin on a floured work surface, roll dough out to 3/4 inch thickness. Cut rounds of dough as close together as possible with a 2 1/4-inch round cookie cutter. Scraps can be re-rolled once. Place rounds 1 to 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets. Brush the tops with the remaining butter; cover with plastic wrap. Set aside to rise until light and they do not spring back when pressed with a finger, about 30 minutes.
• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Bake until biscuits are golden brown, about 14 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for about 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Stir the yeast into 1/4 cup warm water in a small bowl and set aside. Slowly warm the buttermilk with the butter and sugar in a small pan(buttermilk may curdle, but it will smooth out in the end).
• When the butter has melted, pour the liquid into a bowl and beat in the potatoes, salt, 1/4 cup of the flour, and the proofed yeast. Cover and let stand until light and foamy, about 30 minutes.
• Stir in the remaining flour until no more can be added easily, then knead the dough until smooth and elastic. Cover and let rise until doubled in bulk, 45-60 minutes.
• Turn it out, then roll into a circle about 1/3" thick and cut into 2" rounds. Place on a lightly greased sheet pan, cover, and let rise again until nearly doubled, 45-60 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 400*F.
• Brush the biscuits with the beaten egg(or milk or cream) and bake until the biscuits are golden, about 20 minutes. Enjoy!

Add more cold water if necessary to form a soft dough. , Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead 10 times. Roll dough to 1/2-in. to 3/4-in.-thickness; cut with 2-in. biscuit cutter. , Place on an ungreased baking sheet; brush with milk if desired. Bake at 450° for 13-14 minutes or until lightly browned.
