Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 1 cup mashed potatoes (cooled, unsalted)
- 0.5 cup milk
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the mashed potatoes, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Gradually pour the milk into the bowl, stirring gently with a fork or wooden spoon until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it 3-4 times until it comes together.
Pat the dough into a 1/2-inch thick rectangle. Use a round biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass to cut out biscuits, re-rolling the scraps as needed.
Place the biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between them.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
Remove from the oven and allow the biscuits to cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving.
