Sweet Potato Biscuits
From: http://www.self.com/fooddiet/recipes/2010/11/sweet-potato-biscuits
Makes: 8
1 medium sweet potato (about 5 oz)
1 1/4 cups whole-wheat biscuit mix (I use Trader Joe's Multigrain Baking Mix)
2 tablespoons chilled unsalted butter, cubed
1/2 cup lowfat buttermilk
1/4 teaspoons ground allspice (or cinnamon works)
Wrap sweet potato in a paper towel. Microwave on high until soft, 4 minutes. Scoop flesh into a bowl and mash; set aside. Heat oven to 400°. Place biscuit mix and butter in a bowl; rub butter into mix with fingertips until large pea-sized crumbs form. Add sweet potato, buttermilk and allspice; mix until just combined. Drop dough by big spoonfuls onto greased cookie sheet (making eight total). Bake until biscuits are firm to the touch, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Once cool, store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Hmmm... This is very similar to my regular biscuit recipe (just SR flour, crisco, buttermilk), I wonder if I could just add a sweet potato without changing to biscuit mix?
ReplyDeleteIs yours a drop biscuit recipe? That's what this one is. If so, I bet you could add sweet potato. I add in veggies like this to my pancakes all the time. As long as I don't go overboard, it doesn't seem to affect the texture much. Thanks for visiting my blog!
ReplyDeleteBtw, just realized I was talking to the one and only Devin! Miss you, lady.
