These tender potato biscuits are great to use up those leftover mashed potatoes! We like them for breakfast, lunch or dinner! Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour |
2 tablespoons baking powder |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/4 cup sugar |
1/4 cup butter or margarine |
1 1/2 cups leftover mashed potatoes |
1 egg, beaten |
1/3 cup cold water |
1/3 cup milk |
2 tablespoons milk, or as needed |
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
2. In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Cut in butter, until pieces of butter are no larger than peas. Use a fork to stir in mashed potatoes, breaking them up into chunks. Make a well in the mixture, and pour in egg, water and milk. Stir into a loose dough using the fork.
3. Turn dough out onto a floured surface, and knead for 6 or 8 times so the dough holds together. Pat the dough out to about 3/4 inch thickness, and cut into circles with a biscuit cutter or drinking glass. Place biscuits onto an ungreased baking sheet. Brush the tops with 2 tablespoons milk.
4. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until bottoms are golden.
