Potato Biscuits
Firm, moist and tasty, potato biscuits are a great use for leftover mashed potatoes!
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cup mashed potatoes
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 egg - beaten
Instructions
- Mix together the flour, salt and baking powder. Add this mixture to a mixing bowl containing the mashed potatoes. Stir together (mixture will be a bit crumbly).
- Mix the beaten egg with the milk and then add this into the potato mixture. Mix to a soft dough. Turn on to a floured surface and knead 4 or 5 times. (To knead, sprinkle the top of the dough with flour and then lift the bottom half of the dough onto the top half, while pushing in with the heels of your hands).
- Roll or pat out to a 3/4 inch thickness and cut into rounds using a 2 1/2 inch floured cutter or a juice glass. Mix the leftover pieces together and roll out again, until all the dough has been used up.
- Place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake in a 400 F (200 C) oven for 20 minutes or until lightly browned.
