I developed this recipe one evening while making ordinary biscuits. I had half a cup of potato flakes left in the box and I just added them to the dough. The biscuits came out of the oven as light and airy as pillows! Ingredients:
1/2 cup instant mashed potato flakes |
1 teaspoon sugar |
2 tablespoons butter, softened |
1/2 cup hot water |
1/3 cup cold water |
3 cups biscuit/baking mix |
milk for biscuit tops, optional |
Directions:
1. In a bowl, combine the potato flakes, sugar, butter and hot water. Add cold water and biscuit mix, stirring until well-blended. Add more cold water if necessary to form a soft dough.
2. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead 10 times. Roll dough to 1/2-in. to 3/4-in.-thickness; cut with 2-in. biscuit cutter.
3. Place on an ungreased baking sheet; brush with milk if desired. Bake at 450° for 13-14 minutes or until lightly browned. Yield: 12-18 biscuits, depending on thickness and size.
