Hello. In today’s video, I’m going to show you how to make
sweet potato biscuits. This sweet potato biscuit recipe is a perfect
addition to any weeknight meal and a great way to use up leftover sweet potatoes.
For this recipe you will need: 2 cups all purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon brown sugar 1/4 cup shortening
1/2 cup milk 1 cup mashed cooked yams
Preheat your oven to 450 degrees Farenheight Start by whisking together the flour,
baking powder, salt and brown sugar . Cut in the shortening until the flour mixture
looks lumpy and has pea sized pieces of shortening throughout.
To “cut in” the shortening, you have three options.
The first option is a tool called a pastry blender.
This is great tool to have around if you bake a lot of pies and biscuits. If not, use option
#2. A fork. It may take a little bit longer to get
all of your shortening worked into the flour with a fork, but at least you won’t have
to buy another kitchen gadget that you only use a couple times a year.
Option 3 is your fingers. If you use this method,
You want to make sure that you chill your shortening before you add it to your
dry ingredients. You also want to make sure that you only use the tips of your fingers,
not your palms. You want to prevent melting the shortening
with the heat from your hands, which could result in a greasy biscuit.
After your shortening is well incorporated, add the milk and sweet potatoes.
Mix gently until the mixture comes together. Place the sweet potato biscuit dough on a
lightly floured surface and roll or pat to a half an inch thick. Use
additional flour as needed to prevent the dough from sticking to your hands.
Cut with a floured biscuit cutter or just cut
into squares with a knife, so there are no scraps of dough left over.
Transfer to an ungreased baking sheet, or a sheet pan lined with a silpat, and bake
for 12-15 min or until puffed and slightly golden brown around the edges.
When the biscuits are done, Serve piping hot with lots of butter.
