Candied Sweet Potatoes Biscuits

Candied Sweet Potatoes Biscuits by Angela Roberts

Candied sweet potato biscuits might be my best biscuit creation to date. When Retro Rose made these candied sweet potatoes the other day, I kept thinking they would be great in a biscuit. I know I’ve already made sweet potato biscuits in the past, but these are candied sweet potato biscuits, using left over candied sweet potatoes, that are soaking in brown sugar, buttery syrup. So good, you might just eat them for dessert.

This is the story of practice makes perfect and taking on something in the kitchen that I used to be terrible at. Now I can make a biscuit blind folded and without a recipe. But fret not, I have a recipe and I know it works. My readers tell me that my biscuit recipe makes them look like a genius. This is what I like to hear, because there are some bad biscuit recipes out there and what I call the biscuit scare.

My own mother in law has stayed scared because the reputation of her mother’s biscuits was too hard to compete with. Her mother never taught her what to do, probably to save time, but how sad is that? Had she started at a young enough age where mistakes are expected, she would have been able to make biscuits long after she left her mother’s home to live her own life.

As my husband remembers the biscuits made on the wood burning stove, the memory probably embellishes that biscuit a bit. After all, they have to taste amazing just because they woke up in a cold house and couldn’t wait to get to that kitchen and warm up with a hot breakfast.

It probably doesn’t get much better than waking up to  hot biscuits, homemade jam and honey. Oh I’m sure the biscuits were all that and more, but good memories tend to increase in speed as the years go by for fear of losing them.

Southern Candied Sweet Potatoes Biscuits from Spinach Tiger

This was the very reason I asked my mom to show me how to make her candied sweet potatoes. They are a memory to hold onto, and she is just as well known for her candied sweet potatoes in her circle, as my husband’s grandmother was known for her biscuits.

As I listened to his description of the biscuit, I set out to find my own way to bring that memory back, while creating something of my very own. The biscuit has to be fluffy, yet golden, and I’ve been successful with this recipe, even though I improved the technique here.

The best way to make candied sweet potatoes biscuits is with left over candied sweet potatoes, which have been made cold. When added to my basic recipe, they need nothing more than a bit of butter, but honey is always a good idea.

I make these quite small because the recipe will yield more and on a holiday, such as Thanksgiving or Easter,  small is the perfect size. You can make the sweet potatoes in advance using my recipe or use your own. Avoid using any marshmallow in the biscuit if you can, though, as it might cause the biscuits to burn.

Do you have something you remember that you wish you could make? Let me encourage you to do it. It only takes practice. Perfection never happens at the first take. Be patient with your cooking skills and believe in yourself. I took a chance making candied sweet potatoes biscuits and they turned out wonderfully, so take some kitchen chances. I’d love to hear about them.

Here are some great ways to use your thanksgiving leftovers from the Penny Hoarder.

Autumn Biscuits with Candied Sweet Potatoes for a Thanksgiving Dinner

Candied sweet potato biscuits have become a new tradition for Fall and Holiday time, fluffy and sweet.
Prep Time10 mins
Cook Time15 mins
Total Time25 mins
Course: Bread
Cuisine: American
Servings: 12
Author: Angela Roberts

Ingredients

  • 1 cup cold candied sweet potatoes see notes
  • 2 cups soft wheat flour all purpose Lilly White
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter cubed
  • 3/4 cups full fat buttermilk

Instructions

  • Put flour in bowl. I make my biscuits in a wide bottomed wooden bowl.
  • Add baking powder, salt, sugar.
  • Add in butter, mixing with hands or cut in with a pastry cutter.
  • Mash sweet potatoes.
  • Add in sweet potatoes, mix with a wooden spoon or your hands.
  • Add buttermilk. Dough will appear too wet at first, but you will be able to pat down to approximately an 8 inch disc.
  • Using a biscuit cutter, cut biscuits. Put into cast iron griddle or frying pan, touching. You can also use a baking sheet.
  • Bake at 450 degrees for 15 minutes.

Notes

You can use my candied sweet potato recipe or just use your own left over candied sweet potatoes. If you don't have candied sweet potatoes, use a cooked sweet potato mixed with 2 tablespoons brown sugar.

TUSCAN SHRIMP - You can find tuscan everything on Pinterest. Tuscan chicken, Tuscan salmon and my Tuscan shrimp. They all have one thing in common….a whole cup of heavy cream. I decided to slim it down a bit by adding only a splash of cream, and using a thickening gel made from xanthan gum, (recipe below)  and some broth. I spiced it up with some Trader Joe’s  bomba sauce, ❤️👩🏻‍🍳which in case you haven’t noticed, I put it in EVERYTHING. Recipe coming soon.

Happy Weekend Friends. I feel the need to bring you a smattering of cheer and goodwill. Sugar free, grain free, gluten free, with keto friendly chocolate whoopie pies. #linkinprofile  https://spinachtiger.com/grain-free-chocolate-whoopie-pies/ 

I hope you’re having the best Saturday you can have. I did a lot of early baking and now it’s me and Peaches watching the PBS Masterpiece Theater. I love my subscription to Acorn and Britbox, PBS. Anyone else an Acorn fan? I love Agatha Raisin, Deadwater fell, Doc Martin, Delicious, Nothing Trivial, 800 Words, The Heart Guy, Murdock Mysteries, A Place to Call Home, Poirot, Mount Pleasant, Father Brown. 
On Brit Box, the funniest show (and uplifting) I’ve ever seen is Mrs. Brown’s Boys. HIGHLY recommend that but beware of some swear words. (It’s Irish)

Taco Tuesday, even if you’re on keto! At first glance you would think you can’t eat this on a low carb diet. Think again. Fish fried with pork panko, sitting in my grain free tortillas (which you can buy in my bakery by the way). You can use a food processor to transform pork rinds into pork panko. I found the pork panko at costco (affordable, finally and they are life changing for a grain free diet).

Good Morning Saturday.  Dutch baby is keto friendly and recipe is on the blog. Ingredients below. We eat this with choc zero maple syrup which is sugar free and delicious. We’re going to have a nice breakfast before we face our basement. Everything has to be moved to the garage  before Thursday when electricity is rewired. We are finally finishing out this 850 square feet walk out, and I can’t wait to get to the wall painting/decorating part. I need this project to keep my mind on happy things!

We cannot control the crazy in our wold right now, but we can control what we eat. This spicy salmon is keto friendly with ground pork rinds giving crunch. Not only seriously delicious, but Omega 3 good for you. 
I choose healthy but I also choose pleasurable food. This is placed atop cauliflower rice and some nice white wine wouldn’t hurt either.  The spicy comes from Trader Joe’s Italian Bomba Hot Pepper Sauce made with fermented  Calabrian chili peppers. It’s my new go to. EASY Recipe coming soon.

My most popular blog post is this New York Strip Steak, 185,000 times this year! And, I get the nicest comments about my method. It’s a pan sear and then to oven recipe, but the tips are what bring success. It’s not a reverse sear, which I’ve done with some other steaks, because I like that method with really thick steak. Strip steaks tend to be thinner and the sear and roast method keeps my steak medium rare. Salt and Pepper are my only seasonings…Maybe a bit of butter and thyme. #linkinprofile https://spinachtiger.com/new-york-strip-steak-recipe/

Tips for the Perfect Steak

* Salt the steak 24 hours in advance. It goes into the meat overnight, adds moisture and enhances flavor
* Don’t cover steaks in the fridge. The outside of the steak should be dry if you want to sear them. Put them on a rack so both sides dry.
* Make sure the steak is dry, before searing. When ready to cook, I used to think my steak needed to come down to room temperature, but I now find that I get a better sear  with a cold steak, as long as the steak is dry. It’s the water that comes out of the steak that prevents that nice sear, also known as the mallaird effect.
* Start with a very hot  cast iron pan.
* Do not add oil until pan is hot.
* Use a round grill press, if you can, but no worries if you don’t have one.

Happy New Year! Fingers crossed🤞🏼. Prayers said. 🙏🏻Celebrating today with carnitas and a black eyed peas dip. 👩🏻‍🍳Lucky black eyed peans mean prosperous. Eating pork is also something about pigs rooting forward. Growing up we ate pork and sauerkraut every New Years. 🥳Today it’s a little bit more modern. The black eyed peas is coupled with black beans, pickled red onion from @thekitchn, pickled jalapeño, cilantro, various bell pepper, lime juice avocado and plenty of salt. You must have the salt to awaken and balance the vinegar. Since last week’s Nashville bombing, my appetite was meh. Today is a new year and I’ve invited company and look forward to all the good every year has, no matter what. Helmet of salvation beats this earth stuff any day! (Recipe will come to the blog this week). SpinachTiger dot com reached 12 years!

Cheeseball and Peaches  have so enjoyed the lockdown this year! This is a rare moment when they are actually cuddling together. They cuddle people more. They have the large deck outside to roam. They race around chasing each other in the middle of the night and for them life is wonderful. Reflecting on the past year, I’m truly an optimist, even in 2020.  Many good things happened, shadowed by Covid fallout some because of Covid. The biggest down for me personally was the lack of adventure, connection, parties, dining out, inviting people over, talking to my customers face to face. These are not shallow things. They are the things that boost the immune system and prolong life. Bread and water shared with people trumps a huge feast eaten alone. So my happiest times this year have been with people I love and the getaway at my friend’s farm. Getting OUTSIDE without a mask, without fear has meant everything. The joy of the Lord is my strength and I pray for a lot of JOY for 2021, for as a believer, it’s never pitch dark.

How warped time is now. Three days ago, bombing in Nashville. FBI says solved. Life goes on. Power restored. Went to my usual Monday morning workout. HOWEVER, my brain and heart can’t catch up this fast. Taking a day to chill, process, and look at the big fat year ahead. Bakery owner, full-time food blogger. Thinking about what new doors to open, what doors I should shut. I’ll leave you with this. 2020 started off amazing! I scheduled my first bakery classes and was so gleeful to be able to make one of my dreams come true. In March they all had to be cancelled. The bakery grew during the lockdown! The blog took a major hit in ad dollars due to pandemic. The blog grew substantially in 4th quarter. The blog broke all $ records this month. The bakery closed for three weeks substantial exposure to Covid (taking care of those infected) I never got it! 34 year old sister in law (ex) died suddenly of pancreatic cancer six weeks after diagnosis in July. Her father died five months later. My step mother’s duties increased a bit due to this. She inherited $10,000 from a separate source. So like everyone else, its been up and down and up and down and I didn’t even mention politics, riots, etc. WOW! However, unlike most people, I’m going to call this the best year of my life and marriage. WHY? I started a prayer call in March, praying 4 to 5 days weekly. It has changed my life, my husband’s life and those who come to pray. It has meant EVERYTHING!  By the way this is a cake I never wrote about. Blackberry w lemon mascarpone. What is the ONE GREAT THING of 2020 you experienced?

Can food make you feel better? Sometimes. But it’s been a rough two days. Remember when I said on Christmas Eve, “may tomorrow be as nice as this day: That didn’t age well. What a time! Great little Christmas morning and then I looked at my phone. A BOMB exploded in downtown Nashville. 😡😢Even though I live miles away, our cell service is still not working. We lost internet and TV as did thousands in five states.  Doug ran to Comcast the next morning to get us a temporary account. The scary thing aside from a BOMB, is how vulnerable we are with no cell service or internet (AT & T) as it was all housed in one building with no back up plan. Did you know our infrastructure is this vulnerable? Many of us still can’t call 911 if we needed to. 🙁We are grateful no residents were harmed from the bomb. We still don’t know the “who” in the remains. We don’t know what to believe. 🤷🏻‍♀️I highly recommend watching the Netflix show, Manhunt Deadly Games (about Richard Jewell (falsely accused) and Eric Rudolph (the actual Centennial Park Bomber). Great insight into serial bombers, lone wolfs, and the FBI. 🙏🏻 for not just Nashville but for America.

Merry Christmas. 🎄In spite of all the bad that came with 2020, today was a good day. I found out my wonderful step mother unexpectedly inherited a nice sum of money which she needs badly and that made my heart sing. ❤️ I’m so thrilled when other people get good things they deserve. I was also thrilled with my two sour dough creations we had tonight👩🏻‍🍳. I am still baking from  Emilie Raffa’s Sourdough Made Simple book, and had to try the spinach dip stuffed braided loaf and the camembert wreath. 😋😋Both were HUGE hits, easy directions to follow and came out perfectly.  We had charcuterie, crab cakes, arugula salad and these breads. I think I may not eat again until next year. By the way those cute keto sugar cookies a few posts back were frozen and then brought out for today. Everyone loved them. I think they are even better after being frozen. 
May tomorrow be as nice as today! We all need a good day.
