SWEET BISCUITS FOR BREAKFAST OR SHORTCAKE
I wanted a sweet biscuit, but found that the more sugar I used, the heavier they would be. I started experimenting with a basic rolled biscuit recipe from The Joy of Cooking, and came up with this. The way you handle the dough is important, and be sure to use a sharp cutter to cut the rounds, so all of the edges puff up. A preheated oven and an insulated cookie sheet are necessary. If you don't have an insulated sheet, put two regular sheets together. Recipe is easily doubled. I've served this as shortcake with strawberries and whipped cream, and we also like it at breakfast with apple jelly.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400, I place a rack in lowest position in the oven.
- Combine dry ingredients.
- Cut in butter.
- Stir in liquid until it just begins to pull from the sides- it will be pretty moist.
- Spread 1/4 C flour on a pastry board and dump the dough onto the flour.
- Gently turn the dough until all sides are covered with flour.
- Knead by gently rubbing the dough into the flour, a scant 8 to 10 turns.
- Pat the dough into a 1 inch thich slab.
- Cut into rounds with a sharp round biscuit cutter- I use a 2 1/2 inch cutter-- you can push the scraps together to make room to cut a few more, try not to knead it too much.
- Place on insulated cookie sheet about 1/2 inch apart.
- Put in HOT oven and bake for 12- 15 minutes.
- You can test by lifting the top layer of the center biscuit; if it's done it will look dry inside and the edges will be golden.
- (I get 9 biscuits when I use a 2 1/2" cutter).

HOMEMADE SWEET POTATO BISCUITS
Make life a little sweeter by adding this versatile root vegetables to your next batch of biscuits: sweet potatoes! These homemade sweet potato biscuits are light, flakey and definitely worth the time required to make them. While the dough only needs 30 minutes of hands-on prep time to make, the biscuits require a total of around five hours to rise before they are ready to bake and enjoy. We love how versatile these sweet biscuits are-they can easily be enjoyed as part of a brunch spread, alongside a savory slow-cooker dinner or even as a subtly sweet addition to your Thanksgiving table.

SWEET POTATO BISCUITS
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.

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.

- In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar. Use a pastry cutter or two forks to cut the butter, shortening, and mashed sweet potato into the flour mixture until incorporated. You will still see flakes of butter and shortening throughout, which is good!
- Gradually add the buttermilk (a small amount at a time), stirring with a wooden spoon until a fairly wet, sticky dough forms. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 1 minute, adding flour to the counter, the dough, and your hands, as necessary, to prevent sticking. Roll or pat to ¾-inch thickness. Use a biscuit cutter to cut out rounds (I use a 2-inch cutter for small, tall biscuits). Firmly press the cutter down into the dough, but do not twist. Twisting the biscuit cutter seals off the edges of the biscuits and they therefore will not rise as high. Gather together scraps, and repeat to cut out more biscuits with remaining dough.
- Arrange biscuits (with sides touching) in the cake pan. Place the biscuits in the refrigerator for about 5 minutes (if you have time) to chill before popping them in the oven. Brush the tops of the biscuits with a little bit of the melted butter.

- In a mixing bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined. Using a pastry cutter or your hands, cut butter into flour until only a few pea-size pieces remain. In a separate bowl, stir together buttermilk and sweet potato until homogenous. Add to dry ingredients and use a spoon to mix ingredients together until a shaggy dough forms. Flour your hands and press the dough together until all of the dry ingredients in the bowl are incorporated into 1 large dough mass.
- Line a 9-inch round metal cake pan with parchment paper and grease with cooking spray. Transfer dough to a well-floured surface. Press the dough down and use a rolling pin to roll the dough out to a 3/4-inch thick disc. Using a 3-inch round cutter, cut out 1 biscuit from the dough and place it in the center of the prepared cake pan. Cut out 4 more biscuit rounds from the dough and place them around the perimeter of the cake pan, allowing them to touch each other and the center biscuit. Reroll the dough scraps to 3/4-inch thickness, and cut out remaining 2 biscuits. Fit them snuggly in the cake pan so all of the biscuits are touching (6 biscuits should be surrounding the biscuit in the center). Transfer to the freezer for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Whisk together the egg yolk and water. Brush the surface of each biscuit evenly with egg wash. Bake until the tops have become golden brown and the biscuits have baked all the way through, 40 to 45 minutes.
