Yield makes 12 biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 sweet potato, peeled and coarsely chopped
1 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
2 teaspoons salt
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus 1 tablespoon melted butter for brushing
3 tablespoons maple syrup (see page 69)
1 cup fresh cranberries
1 cup cornmeal
1 cup flour
1 tablespoon baking powder

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F. Grease a baking sheet or muffin tin and set aside.
  • Put the sweet potato in a small saucepan with the orange juice, 1/2 cup water, and 1 teaspoon of the salt. Bring to a boil, then decrease the heat slightly and boil gently, covered, until very soft, about 10 minutes. Coarsely mash the potatoes and cooking liquid with the 5 tablespoons butter and maple syrup. Stir in the cranberries. Let cool and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and the remaining 1 teaspoon salt. Stir in the sweet potatoes. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
