Elevate your biscuits with sweet potatoes for a flakey and versatile twist. These homemade sweet potato biscuits require minimal prep time but a total of five hours to rise before baking. Enjoy them for brunch, with a savory dinner, or as a sweet touch for Thanksgiving.
Ingredients:
  • 1 package regular active dry yeast
  • 1/4 cup warm water (105°F to 115°F)
  • 1 can (15 oz) sweet potatoes in syrup, drained, mashed
  • 1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 1/2 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
Instructions:
  • Combine yeast and warm water in a 1- or 2-cup glass measuring cup. Allow it to sit for 5 minutes.
  • Combine sweet potatoes and butter in a large bowl, then mix in sugar and salt. Add yeast mixture and stir until smooth. Gradually stir in flour and baking powder until well blended. Lightly knead mixture until dough holds together, then shape into a ball.
  • Prepare a generously greased large bowl using shortening or cooking spray. Transfer the dough into the bowl, rotating it to ensure all sides are greased. Loosely cover the bowl with plastic wrap and a cloth towel. Allow the dough to rise in a warm place (80°F to 85°F) for 2 hours and 30 minutes, or until it has doubled in size.
  • Press your fist gently into the dough to release any air pockets. Grease your cookie sheets with shortening or cooking spray. Roll the dough on a floured surface to a 1/2-inch thickness and cut out biscuits using a floured 2-inch biscuit cutter. Place the biscuits on the cookie sheets 2 inches apart. Cover and let them rise in a warm place for 2 hours or until doubled in size.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Remove biscuits from packaging and bake for 12 minutes or until golden. Serve warm.
