We love Thanksgiving. No other way to say it. A mix of the traditional and new dishes, it’s a holiday that brings out the best in cooks. You can cook the same easy-to-make foods and have a feast, or you can choose to spice up the basics with a dish that works in a supporting role, allowing the participants to sample the dishes as part of the overall offering. We chose to do both.
Every Thanksgiving, the kids want me to make Sweet Potato Biscuits. Easy to make, tasty to eat, I get up early in the morning and make them so that they are hot when everyone else wakes. The smell of biscuits in the house is the first aphrodisiac of the day! They can be formed using a cookie cutter, or drop the batter onto a baking dish – comes out great every time. What other dish can you have to start off the day, and with your main dinner?
SWEET POTATO BISCUITS
Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 Tbsp baking powder
¼ cup white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 stick butter, melted
1 1/2 cup mashed sweet potatoes (microwave 3 sweet potatoes until soft)
1/2 cup milk
Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2. In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Mix in the melted butter. Mix in the sweet potatoes, and enough of the milk to make a soft dough.
3. 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.
4. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown.
