SWEET POTATO BISCUITS



Sweet Potato Biscuits image

Provided by Trisha Yearwood

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.

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.

Time 1h20m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

½ cup unsalted butter, softened
2 tablespoons honey
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon kosher salt
⅛ teaspoon cayenne
1 lb sweet potato, peeled and cubed
2 ½ cups all purpose flour, plus more for dusting

1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
½ teaspoon baking soda
2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed
⅓ cup buttermilk, plus 2 tablespoons

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, salt, baking soda, and baking powder.
  • Add the butter to the flour mixture and toss to coat. Using your hands or 2 forks, work the butter into the flour until it resembles a coarse meal.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together ¾ cup (255 G) of the mashed sweet potatoes and the buttermilk.

  • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat into a 1-inch (2 ½ cm) thick square. Using a large knife or bench scraper, cut the square in half lengthwise, then crosswise into quarters, creating 8 rectangular biscuits.
  • Brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter. Bake until golden on top, about 20 minutes. Let the biscuits cool on the pan for 10 minutes.
  • Serve the biscuits warm with the spicy honey butter.
  • Enjoy!

SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH SWEET POTATO BISCUITS, HAM STEAK AND RED-EYE GRAVY



Scrambled Eggs with Sweet Potato Biscuits, Ham Steak and Red-Eye Gravy image

Provided by Bobby Flay

Time 2h35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 medium sweet potato
2 tablespoons light brown muscovado sugar
3/4 cup very cold buttermilk
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, spooned into cup and leveled, plus extra for rolling
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 stick (8 tablespoons) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces, plus 2 tablespoons, melted, for brushing biscuits
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons canola oil
One 1-inch-thick ham steak
1 small Spanish onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon lightly-packed light brown sugar
Kosher salt and coarsely ground black pepper
1 heaping tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups strong brewed coffee
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
8 large eggs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Cilantro sprigs, for serving

Steps:

  • Make the biscuits: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Prick the surface of the potato with a fork, put the potato on a baking sheet and roast until it is soft and a paring knife easily slips into the center, about 1 hour. Cool briefly, then halve and scoop the flesh out from the skin (discard the skin) and into a small bowl. Mash the potato until smooth, then refrigerate until cold, at least 1 hour.
  • Increase the oven temperature to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Whisk together the cold potato puree and the muscovado sugar in a medium bowl until smooth. Whisk in the buttermilk.
  • Whisk together the 2 1/4 cups flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Sprinkle the cubed butter over the dry ingredients, and using your hands or a pastry blender, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles very coarse cornmeal with the largest pieces of butter about the size of a large pea. Stir in the sweet potato mixture and gently mix until a soft dough forms.
  • Turn the dough out onto a floured work surface and pat it into a 1-inch-thick round. Using a 2-inch round biscuit cutter, stamp out as many biscuits as you can. Gently press the scraps together and stamp out more biscuits. Place the biscuits about 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheet, then brush the tops with the cream and bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and brush with the melted butter. Transfer to a bowl or basket and loosely cover with a kitchen towel to keep warm while you make the ham, gravy and eggs.
  • Make the ham steak and red-eye gravy: Heat the oil in a large cast-iron pan over medium heat. Add the ham steak and cook on both sides until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer the ham to a cutting board.
  • Add the onion to the drippings in the pan and cook, stirring often, until slightly soft, about 1 minute. Add the brown sugar and some salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often for 1 minute. Stir in the flour and cook while stirring constantly for 1 minute. Slowly stir in the coffee, bring the gravy to a simmer, and cook, stirring, until thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the butter, then remove from the heat, taste and season with more salt and pepper if needed. Cover to keep warm while you make the eggs.
  • Make the scrambled eggs: Beat the eggs until well combined in a large bowl. Season with some pepper. Melt the butter in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the eggs and immediately start to stir with a wooden spoon or heatproof rubber spatula to form small curds. Once the eggs are barely set, add some salt and cook, stirring constantly, just until the eggs are set but still very soft and loose. Remove from the heat.
  • Cut the ham into large chunks and divide among 4 plates. Top the ham with a scoop of eggs, gravy and a few cilantro sprigs. Add 2 biscuits to each plate and serve immediately.

BAKED HONEY HAM ON SWEET POTATO BISCUITS WITH BLACKBERRY-BALSAMIC DRIZZLE



Baked Honey Ham on Sweet Potato Biscuits with Blackberry-Balsamic Drizzle image

Provided by Jeff Mauro, host of Sandwich King

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h40m

Yield 14 biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 pound sweet potatoes (2 to 3 potatoes)
2 tablespoons buttermilk
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 sticks cold butter, small diced
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 tablespoons butter, melted and slightly cooled
14 slices baked honey ham (or your favorite ham), torn into pieces to fit the biscuits
Blackberry Balsamic Drizzle, recipe follows
Arugula, for serving
One 12 to 13-ounce jar blackberry preserves
1 cup packed fresh basil leaves, stems and all
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup yellow mustard, such as French's
1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
1 serrano chile, split in half

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.

CHEF JOHN'S SWEET POTATO BISCUITS



Chef John's Sweet Potato Biscuits image

This would be a great way to use leftover Thanksgiving sweet potatoes, but they're even better right on that holiday table with the rest of the feast. By forming and folding dough, we develop beautifully buttery layers and avoid overmixing. These were delicious with the pomegranate spread.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     Bread     Quick Bread Recipes     Biscuits

Time 40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 large orange-fleshed sweet potato, peeled
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon brown sugar
½ cup buttermilk
3 ¼ cups self-rising flour
1 ½ sticks unsalted butter, frozen
1 tablespoon melted butter
4 tablespoons butter, room temperature
1 teaspoon pomegranate molasses
1 teaspoon pomegranate juice
Fresh pomegranate seeds for garnish

Steps:

  • Cut sweet potato in half lengthwise. Cut each in half again lengthwise, then in half cross-wise. Cut each piece in half to make about 16 evenly sized chunks. Transfer into pot; cover with water and add salt. Bring to a simmer on high heat; reduce heat to medium-low and cook until potatoes are tender, about 17 minutes. Drain thoroughly; return to pot and mash potatoes. You will need 1 1/2 cups mashed sweet potatoes. Cool thoroughly.
  • Transfer cooled mashed potatoes to a mixing bowl. Add brown sugar and buttermilk. Mix together until well combined.
  • Place self-rising flour in a separate mixing bowl. Grate frozen butter into flour, tossing with a fork to coat with flour after each addition of about 1/3 to 1/2 stick. This will prevent butter from clumping. Mixture should look like floury pieces of butter. Add sweet potato mixture. Toss with a fork until evenly distributed, but don't overmix.
  • Transfer mixture onto a lightly floured work surface. Push and press mixture together into a rectangular shape, about 1 1/2 inches thick. Dough will be floury and a bit crumbly. Fold rectangle into thirds, lifting up one-third and folding onto the middle and doing the same with the other side. Dust with a bit of flour if sticking.
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with a silicone mat.
  • Press dough into a rectangle again, about 1 inch thick. Repeat the tri-fold step. Press out into a rectangle, about 1 inch thick. Trim off the rough edges to square off the sides; this will maximize rising. Cut into 8 equal portions. Transfer to prepared baking pan, spacing biscuits evenly. Brush tops lightly with 1 tablespoon melted butter.
  • Bake in preheated oven until browned, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool slightly before serving.
  • Mix 4 tablespoons butter (room temperature), pomegranate syrup, and pomegranate juice together in a small bowl. Spread on warm biscuits. Sprinkle with a few pomegranate seeds for garnish.

SWEET POTATO BISCUITS



Sweet Potato Biscuits image

Chunks of baked sweet potato enhance warm, tender and flaky biscuits, which also get a savory lift from sliced scallions. To achieve distinct biscuit layers, an integral characteristic of this quick bread, keep your butter cold and work quickly when folding. You can chill the dough in between steps if needed to keep the butter solid, because cold, hard butter will help the dough maintain its layered structure in the oven. Serve the biscuits piping hot right out the oven, broken open and slathered with a generous smear of the spiced honey butter. The sweet potato can be baked in advance and refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days. The spiced honey butter can be prepared up to a week in advance.

Categories     quick breads, side dish

Time 2h10m

Yield 12 biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 medium sweet potato (11 to 14 ounces), scrubbed
4 cups/526 grams all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling the dough
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
2 teaspoons kosher salt (Diamond Crystal)
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup/170 grams cold unsalted butter, cut into ½-inch cubes
2 scallions, trimmed and thinly sliced (1/3 cup)
1 1/4 cups buttermilk
1/2 cup/114 grams unsalted butter, room temperature
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (Diamond Crystal)
2 tablespoons honey

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.

SWEET POTATO DROP BISCUITS



Sweet Potato Drop Biscuits image

These biscuits, from my own original recipe, are light, rich, moist and slightly spicy. The sweet potato flavor is pronounced but not overpowering. They're great for breakfast, but since they aren't sweet, they work well as a side dish for lunch or dinner, too.

Provided by Annes Kitchen

Categories     Breakfast

Time 1h50m

Yield 12 large biscuits, 6-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups unbleached white flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh nutmeg
1/4-1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut in 1/4-inch cubes and chilled in freezer
1 cup sweet potato, cooked and mashed*
1/2 cup plain yogurt (or buttermilk)
1 tablespoon light brown sugar (or agave nectar)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425Ëš.
  • Sift dry ingredients together into food processor. Pulse to blend. Add cold butter and pulse several times, until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Turn mixture out into mixing bowl.
  • Combine sweet potato, yogurt and sugar or agave nectar in processor and run for several seconds to blend thoroughly.
  • Add sweet potato mixture to flour mixture and stir together briefly, just until all flour is incorporated and dough forms a ball. (Mixture may be sticky.) Do not overwork the dough.
  • Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Using a cookie scoop-either ½ or ¼ cup capacity-scoop uniform mounds onto sheets. You can get 5 large or 10 small biscuits onto each cookie sheet.
  • Bake until biscuits are set and just start to brown: about 20 minutes for large and 15 minutes for the small size.
  • These are best served hot (with butter if desired). They can be reheated on a baking sheet for 5 minutes at 400Ëš: good as new.
  • * Use 2 small-to-medium sweet potatoes baked whole for 1 hour at 375Ëš and scooped out. I also made this w/ 1 giant sweet potato (1 1/4 cup): excellent! Very sticky batter, but biscuits were light, moist and nicely peppery.
  • Makes about 12 medium or 24 small (bite size) biscuits.

HOMEMADE SWEET POTATO BISCUITS



Homemade Sweet Potato Biscuits image

These biscuits are slightly sweet and really round out a Thanksgiving feast.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes     Bread Recipes

Yield Makes about 36

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled
1 package active dry yeast
6 tablespoons plus a pinch of sugar
1 cup milk, room temperature
1/2 cup (1 stick), plus 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled, plus more for bowl and plastic wrap
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon salt
4 1/2 to 5 cups sifted bread flour

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.

Time 1h45m

Yield 18 to 24 biscuits, servings 9 to 12 (2 per person)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 pounds sweet potatoes roasted, cooled and mashed (about 1 cup cooked potatoes)
2 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour, plus additional if dough is too sticky and for rolling out dough
3/4 cup cold butter, cut into 1/4-inch cubes
2/3 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup heavy cream

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.

SWEET POTATO BISCUITS WITH PEPPERED PORK LOIN, APPLE MUSTARD BUTTER AND SALAD



Sweet Potato Biscuits with Peppered Pork Loin, Apple Mustard Butter and Salad image

Provided by Damaris Phillips

Categories     main-dish

Time 4h10m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 30

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus extra if needed
2 tablespoons brown sugar or honey
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
6 tablespoons chilled unsalted butter, diced, plus extra melted to brush biscuits
3/4 cup mashed sweet potato, cold
1/3 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup golden raisins
2 tablespoon sorghum or molasses
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
One 4-pound pork loin
1 pound peeled and cored apples, cut into 1/2-inch chunks, or 12 ounces unsweetened applesauce
4 ounces light brown sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground allspice
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
2 bunches arugula
1 pint grape tomatoes or baby heirlooms
1/4 cup sunflower seeds
2 lemons, juiced
1/4 cup olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 ounces shaved Parmesan

Steps:

  • For the sweet potato biscuits: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, baking soda and cayenne. Using a pastry cutter or your hands, cut in the chilled butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
  • Stir together the sweet potato and buttermilk in a separate bowl until smooth. Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the sweet potato mixture. Add the raisins and combine until it just comes together. Be very careful to not over mix.
  • Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead until it comes together. If the dough is too sticky, work in up to 1/4 cup additional flour. Shape into a disk and pat to an even 1- to 1 1/2-inch thickness. With a floured 3-inch round biscuit cutter, cut out biscuits. Gather together scraps, and repeat to cut out more biscuits.
  • Butter a baking sheet and place each biscuit 1/2 inch apart. Brush with melted butter and bake until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
  • For the peppered pork loin: In a small bowl, stir together the sorghum, salt, black pepper, crushed red pepper and oil. Trim the pork loin of any excess fat, and transfer to a shallow roasting pan (or my favorite, a cast-iron skillet). Rub the pork loin with sorghum and spice mixture, coating evenly. Roast until the internal temperature is 140 degrees F, about 45 minutes. Remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes.
  • For the apple mustard butter: Place the apple chunks in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over low heat. Cook, uncovered, for 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally. Add the brown sugar, cinnamon and allspice. Continue cooking over low heat, stirring occasionally, until very thick, about 30 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the mustard. (Or if using applesauce, place in a heavy bottomed pot with the sugar and spices and cook until it is thick, 30 minutes or so.)
  • For the salad: Toss the arugula, tomatoes and sunflowers seeds in a large bowl. Drizzle with lemon juice and olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Top with the shaved cheese.
  • To serve: Split the sweet potato biscuits and spread the apple mustard butter on both sides. Thinly slice the pork loin and place on each of the bottom biscuits. Top with the other biscuit halves and serve with salad on the side.
