Sweet Potato Angel Biscuits Food

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.

CARAMELIZED ONION GRAVY AND SWEET POTATO ANGEL BISCUITS

Steps:

• In a large cast-iron skillet, combine onion, 2 tablespoons butter, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until light golden brown, about 10 minutes. Add brown sugar and remaining 2 tablespoons butter; reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring occasionally, until dark golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together cider, broth, and cornstarch until smooth. Add cider mixture to onions; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in sage, pepper, and remaining ½ teaspoon salt. Serve over Sweet Potato Angel Biscuits. Garnish with sage and pepper, if desired.
• In a small bowl, stir together ⅓ cup warm water and yeast. Let stand until mixture is foamy, about 5 minutes.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Using a pastry blender, cut in cold butter until mixture is crumbly. Add yeast mixture and sweet potato purée, stirring with a fork just until combined.
• Turn out dough onto heavily floured surface, and knead until well combined. Spray a large bowl with cooking spray. Place dough in bowl, turning to grease top. Cover and let stand in a warm, draft-free place (75°) until dough is puffed, about 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 400°. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
• On a lightly floured surface, turn out dough, and pat to ¾-inch thickness. Using a 2¼-inch round cutter dipped in flour, cut dough, rerolling scraps as necessary. Place on prepared pan.
• In a small bowl, whisk together egg and 1 teaspoon water. Brush egg wash onto dough.
• Bake until golden brown, 12 to 14 minutes. Serve warm.

TRISHA YEARWOOD'S ANGEL BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and 3 tablespoons of the sugar.
• In a small bowl, combine the warm water with the yeast and the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar; stir until the yeast is dissolved. Let stand until bubbles appear, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Using your hands, mix the 1 cup cold butter into the flour, breaking the butter into small pebbles, until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Make a well in the center and add the buttermilk and the yeast mixture. Gently fold the flour into the wet ingredients. Keep mixing until a ball starts to form, then gently knead, 12 to 15 times, to create a smooth dough. Cover with a cloth or plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for approximately 1 hour.
• Transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface and press out to 1- to 1 1/2-inches thick. Fold the dough in half, press again to 1- to 1 1/2-inches thick, and then fold again. Cut the dough using a 2- to 3-inch round biscuit cutter, depending personal preference. Brush the bottom of a cast-iron skillet with some of the melted butter. Place the biscuits in the skillet; brush the tops with melted butter.
• Bake until golden brown, 18 to 22 minutes, depending on size. Brush again with melted butter and serve immediately.
