Time 1h20m

Yield Makes 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 3/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour, plus more for kneading and shaping
2 tablespoons light-brown sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
6 tablespoons chilled unsalted butter, cut into pieces, plus 1/2 tablespoon melted butter and more for pan
3/4 cup Sweet Potato Puree, chilled
1/3 cup buttermilk

Steps:

  • Make the dough: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. With a pastry blender or 2 knives, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse meal, with some pea-sized lumps of butter remaining. In a small bowl, whisk together sweet potato puree and buttermilk; stir quickly into flour mixture until combined (do not overmix).
  • Shape the biscuits: Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface, and knead very gently until dough comes together but is still slightly lumpy, 5 or 6 times. (If dough is too sticky, work in up to 1/4 cup additional flour.) Shape into a disk, and pat to an even 1-inch thickness. With a floured 2-inch biscuit cutter, cut out biscuits as close together as possible. Gather together scraps, and repeat to cut out more biscuits (do not reuse scraps more than once).
  • Bake the biscuits: Preheat oven to 425 degrees, with rack on lower shelf. Butter an 8-inch cake pan. Arrange biscuits snugly in pan (to help them stay upright). Brush with melted butter. Bake until golden, rotating once, 20 to 24 minutes.

Categories     side-dish

Time 50m

Yield 16 biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 cups self-rising flour
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon apple pie spice
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons very cold unsalted butter, cubed
3 small sweet potatoes, roasted and peeled (about 1 1/3 cups mashed)
1 to 2 cups low-fat buttermilk
All-purpose flour, for counter
Nonstick cooking spray, for the skillet
Salted butter and honey, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Place a large cast-iron skillet in the oven to preheat.
  • Combine the self-rising flour, salt and apple pie spice in a food processor with several pulses. Drop in 1 cup cold butter cubes and pulse until pea-sized crumbs are formed in the flour. Dump this flour mixture into a large bowl. Process the sweet potato flesh in the same food processor bowl until mashed. Pour in 1 cup of the buttermilk and pulse until a smooth puree is formed. Scrape the potato mixture into the mixing bowl. Use your hands to gently pull the flour into the potato mixture, adding more buttermilk as needed to reach a moist dough. Dump the dough out onto a floured surface and press into a 1-inch-thick square. Cut out 16 square biscuits with a bench scraper, re-rolling scraps as necessary.
  • Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a small bowl in the microwave.
  • Remove the skillet from the oven and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Carefully place the biscuits in the skillet (it's okay if they touch). Brush the tops of the biscuits with the melted butter. Place the skillet back in the oven.
  • Bake the biscuits until fluffy and lightly golden on top, 16 to 18 minutes. Serve warm with butter and honey.
