SWEET POTATO BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Cut in the shortening until pieces of shortening are pea-sized or smaller. Mix in the sweet potatoes, and enough of the milk to make a soft dough.
• Turn dough out onto a floured surface, and roll or pat out to 1/2 inch thickness. Cut into circles using a biscuit cutter or a drinking glass. Place biscuits 1 inch apart onto a greased baking sheet.
• Bake for 12 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown.

GRAMMA'S GLAZED CANDIED SWEET POTATO SLICES

Steps:

• Submerge potatoes in water. Bring to a boil & simmer until they are a cooked a little more than half way through. Check with a tooth pick.
• *** It is important to NOT overcook because they will continue to cook when simmering in the brown sugar glaze.
• When done boiling, pour off all the hot water and run cold water over them until they are cooled off. Do this as quickly as possible, running and changing the water until the potatoes are completely cold. This may take a few minutes. Drain. They can now rest for hours if need be.
• In an electric skillet, slowly melt butter until completely melted.
• Add enough light brown sugar to absorb all the butter.
• (I am not 100% of the amount listed above). Continue to use a low/medium heat until all the brown sugar melts and is no longer grainy. This can take up to an hour. You can let it bubble a bit around the edges but not too hard. Continually stirring w/ a spatula.
• In the mean time: peel your potatoes. I do this GENTLY with a paring knife.
• Slice thickly at least 3/4". If you cut them too thin, they will fall apart while cooking. Set aside in single layers.
• Once the sugar is ready & gooey, no longer grainy, place the slices, one by one, side by side, in the skillet. DO NOT move them around until ready to flip.
• When the edges of the slices are gathering a candy coating and darkening, flip them. The 2nd side will not take as long to cook.
• Gently lift out and place in a single layer on a warmed serving platter. I use a pie server to serve.

SWEET POTATO BISCUITS

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.
