Potato Drop Biscuits Recipes

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:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Place the flour, baking powder and salt into a food processor and pulse a few times to combine. Add the butter and pulse until the dry ingredients and the butter are mostly combined. (Alternatively, cut the butter into the dry ingredients with a pastry cutter.) Drizzle in the milk and pulse (or stir) just until the dough comes together. Do not over mix.
• Using a regular table spoon, or large spoon, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto baking trays and bake until nice golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. If desired, brush with melted butter after you remove them from the oven.

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.

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 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, cream of tartar, and salt. Cut in shortening with a pastry blender (or 2 knives) until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in milk and vanilla extract and mix until just combined.
• Drop biscuits onto a cookie sheets (use a 1/4 cup measure and space 2 inches apart).
• Place cookie sheets on 2 oven racks near the center of the oven. Bake biscuits for 12-15 minutes, until they are golden brown, rotating cookie sheets between the upper and lower racks halfway through baking time.
• Serve warm.

Steps:

• For the sorghum drop biscuits: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Butter a large cast-iron skillet.
• Mix both flours, the baking powder, sugar, salt, and baking soda in a large bowl with an open hand, using your fingers as a whisk. Add the shortening and use your fingertips to pinch it completely into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• Using a box grater, grate the frozen butter on the large holes into the flour. Toss until all of the pieces are coated. Add the buttermilk to the flour mixture. Using your hand as a spatula, gently mix until the dough forms a shaggy mass. Scrape the dough off your hand.
• Using a large spoon or cookie scoop, drop 16 mounds of dough into the prepared skillet, spacing 1 inch apart.
• Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes.
• For the sorghum butter: Whisk the butter in a small bowl until smooth. Whisk in the sorghum and salt until fully incorporated. Use immediately.
• Serve the Drop Biscuits warm with the Sorghum Butter.
