Pillow Potato Biscuits Recipes

TENDER POTATO BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• 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.
• 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.
• Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until bottoms are golden.

MASHED POTATO BISCUITS

Steps:

• In a large bowl mix with a fork the flour, baking powder, and salt.
• With a pastry blender cut in shortening and mashed potatoes until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• Stir in milk until mixture is moistened.
• Turn dough out on floured board and knead 6 to 8 times.
• Roll out to about 1/2 inch thick and cut with biscuit cutter.
• Place on baking sheet 1 1/2 inches apart.
• Bake at 450 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown.
• Serve warm with fresh butter or honey.
