Spiced Sweet Potato Biscuits Recipes

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.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the first five ingredients. Cut in butter until crumbly. Combine sweet potato and milk; stir into crumb mixture just until moistened. Turn onto a floured surface; knead 10-15 times. Roll out to 1/2-in. thickness; cut with a floured 2-1/2-in. pumpkin-shaped cookie cutter or biscuit cutter., Place 2 in. apart on a greased baking sheet. Brush with egg; sprinkle with sugar. Bake at 425° for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.

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.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Wash sweet potatoes, and prick all over with a fork. Place on a baking sheet; bake until soft, about 1 hour. (The juices will start to run out.) When cool enough to handle, scoop out flesh and press through a sieve (you should have 1 3/4 cups of puree). Set aside.
• In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and cayenne. With a pastry cutter or two knives, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse meal.
• In another bowl, whisk together milk and sweet-potato puree. Add to dry ingredients, and mix until well combined.
• Place dough on a lightly floured surface; knead once or twice, and pat out to 1/2 inch thick. Cut out biscuits with a floured 2-inch-round cutter. Bake on parchment-lined baking sheet until golden brown, about 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450°F. Stir all ingredients until soft dough forms.
• Place dough on surface sprinkled with Bisquick mix; roll in Bisquick mix to coat. Shape into a ball; knead 3 or 4 times. Roll 1/2 inch thick. Cut with 2 1/2-inch round cutter dipped in Bisquick mix. Place with edges touching on ungreased cookie sheet.
• Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Make the spicy honey butter: Place the butter in a large bowl. Beat with an electric hand mixer on low speed for about 2 minutes, or until smooth. Increase the speed to medium and add the honey, vanilla, cinnamon, salt, and cayenne and beat until well combined, about 2 minutes.
• Spoon the butter onto a piece of parchment paper or plastic wrap. Roll into a log and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. The butter will keep in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
• Make the biscuits: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Bring a medium pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add the sweet potatoes to the boiling water and cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain, then mash with a fork or potato masher until smooth. Let cool completely.
• 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.
• Add to the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix with a fork to combine. Knead the mixture with your hands until it comes together in a shaggy dough.
• 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!

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450°F. Spray cookie sheet with cooking spray.
• In medium bowl, stir Bisquick mix and red pepper. Cut in 1/3 cup butter, using pastry blender (or pulling 2 table knives through ingredients in opposite directions), until mixture looks like coarse crumbs. In small bowl, mix sweet potatoes and milk until blended; add to butter mixture, stirring with fork until dough leaves side of bowl.
• Place dough on well-floured surface; gently roll in flour to coat. Knead lightly 6 to 8 times. Roll or pat dough to 1-inch thickness. Cut with floured 2-inch biscuit cutter. Place about 1 inch apart on cookie sheet.
• Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until light golden brown. Brush with melted butter. Serve warm.
