3/4 cup of warm milk
1 package of yeast
1 teaspoon sugar
Place Yeast in bowl, add sugar,then 3/4 cup of milk let sit do not stir.
Flour Mixture~
Add 2 cups flour to a bowl
2 teaspoons baking powder
dash sea salt
half stick very cold butter cut into small pieces into the flour mixture
Mix up the butter into the flour with your hands lightly to incorporate them together.
Slowly add the yeast milk to the flour mixture and stir with a fork lightly to blend til you get the mixture some what into a ball. It will not be a perfect ball ,all you want is for the flour to be blended well.
Place 1/3 cup of flour on your pastry table ,scrap out wet Flour Mixture onto your table. Dust your hands with flour then lightly fold the Flour Mixture in the flour you placed onto your table. This is a very quick step,which your basically tossing that ball of dough into the flour and patting down lightly.. Lay the sweet potato pieces on top of the flour mixture, start folding the dough flour over the sweet potato cubes ,making sure your hands are floured when working with the dough. Keep adding sprinkles of flour under the dough to make sure the dough does not stick to your pastry table. Nothing like your biscuits sticking when you have cut them into your pretty shapes. Pat down the dough lightly and cut out your biscuits in rounds shapes or squares. Place them on a buttered sheet pan or round cake pan side by side to make the rise. Top with butter and bake til brown at 350* you may also add fresh ground pepper on top of the uncooked biscuits !!!
Remember the less you work with your dough the lighter your biscuits will be when they are cooked. Only turn your dough 3 times , quit and pat down ,then cut out your shapes. If you keep working your biscuit dough you will be making doorstops that will be as hard as rocks !!!
