Servings:
Units:
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 435ºF.
- Scrub the potato clean and pierce with a fork. Place the potato on the baking sheet. Bake the potatoes until tender, about 45 minutes.
- When the potato is cool enough to handle, remove the skins and mash the potato.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat liner. Set aside.
- In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Mix with a fork to combine.
- Add butter and mix by hand just until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add sweet potato and buttermilk. Stir just until the mixture comes together.
- Lightly flour a counter and turn the dough out. Gently knead the dough a few times.
- Roll the dough into a rectangle about 2 inches thick. Fold one side of the dough over to by 1/2 then fold the other side over the first side. Flatten the dough into another rectangle. Fold the dough again.
- Roll the dough one last time to about 1 1/2 inch thick. Using a 2-inch cookie cutter, cut the biscuits, pressing straight down on the cutter, being careful not to twist or turn it. Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet. Re-roll the dough the same way you rolled it out the first time (folding into thirds twice) then cut the remaining dough into biscuits. Be sure to cook any dough that is leftover too. End pieces are fun for kids!
- Bake the biscuits in the 435ºF oven until they are lightly browned, about 13 minutes.

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9x13” glass or ceramic baking pan with parchment paper, allowing it to slightly overhang opposite edges. Coat lightly with cooking spray.

- Whisk flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl.
- Whisk eggs and vanilla into the cooled butter mixture until well combined. Add the flour mixture in 2 additions, gently folding until just combined. Reserve 2 tablespoon of each Add-In. Fold the rest into the batter. Evenly spread the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the reserved Add-Ins on top.
- Bake the blondies until light brown around the edges (18-22 minutes). They will appear slightly under-baked in the center, but will firm up as they cool. Let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Cut into 24 bars.

- Organic confectioner’s sugar for dusting
Servings:
Units:
Instructions
- In a large bowl dissolve yeast in warm water. Add sugar, salt, eggs, evaporated milk. Blend well (I use my stand mixer). Mix in 4 cups of the flour and beat until smooth.
- Add the shortening and remaining 2 cups of flour*. You can cover and chill the dough from here if you want to fry it up later.
- Generously flour counter. Roll out dough 1/8-inch thick. Cut into 2 1/2-inch squares using a pizza wheel. Fry in 360° hot oil. Beignets will pop up quickly. Turn to brown both sides, about 30 seconds to 1 minute per side. Only fry a few at a time to keep your oil hot. Drain on paper towels.
- Dust generously with confectioner’s sugar or place hot beignets in a zip lock filled with sugar and shake well to coat. Serve warm. Heavenly!
- *You should only need 6 cups of sprouted flour, depending on how shaggy your dough is after adding the 6th cup. I add 6 cups then refrigerate the dough. It is always just right the next morning and I use a generous amount of flour on my rolling surface to perfect the dough.
