Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

3 cups self-rising flour ((such as White Lily brand))
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
½ cup (1 stick) salted butter, cubed and chilled
1 ½ cups cold mashed cooked sweet potatoes
¾ cup cold whole buttermilk, plus more as needed
1 tablespoon salted butter, melted

Steps:

Lightly oil or grease a 10-inch cast iron skillet, or line with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together self-rising flour and sugar.
Use a pastry blender or two forks to cut in the cold butter until the mixture is crumbly and some pea-size pieces of butter remain.
In a small bowl, whisk together mashed sweet potatoes and buttermilk. Stir the potato mixture into the flour mixture just until the dry ingredients are moistened. If the dough is too dry, add a little bit more buttermilk. If the dough is too sticky to work with, add a bit more flour.
Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead 4-6 times.
Press dough to 1-inch thickness.
Using a round biscuit cutter dipped in flour, cut out biscuits and arrange in the cast iron skillet. Roll out the scraps once, and cut additional biscuits if necessary. Do not continue rolling and cutting or you may end up with tough biscuits.
Place the skillet in the freezer for 10-15 minutes so that the dough can chill while you preheat the oven.
Preheat oven to 450°F.
Bake biscuits until golden brown and cooked through, about 15-20 minutes. Brush warm biscuits with melted butter and enjoy!

Ingredients

1 (12 ounce) package bacon
1 (10 ounce) can refrigerated large flaky layer biscuits
6 eggs, beaten
2 tablespoons milk
6 tablespoons shredded Cheddar cheese
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels. When cooled, chop the bacon.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Separate biscuits and pull each biscuit into halves. Press 2 biscuit halves into a muffin cup, molding the dough to the inside to make a dough cup. Repeat with remaining dough to make 12 biscuit cups.
Whisk eggs and milk together in a bowl until thoroughly combined. Spoon each biscuit cup about half full of egg mixture and top with about 1 tablespoon bacon and about 1 1/2 teaspoon Cheddar cheese per biscuit.
Bake in the preheated oven until the biscuit crust is browned, the cheese is melted and bubbling, and the egg center is set, about 20 minutes.
