Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour

  • 2 tablespoons baking powder

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • ¼ cup sugar

  • ¼ cup butter or margarine

  • 1 ½ cups leftover mashed potatoes

  • 1 egg, beaten

  • ⅓ cup cold water

  • ⅓ cup milk

  • 2 tablespoons milk, or as needed

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Cut in butter, until pieces of butter are no larger than peas. Use a fork to stir in mashed potatoes, breaking them up into chunks. Make a well in the mixture, and pour in egg, water and milk. Stir into a loose dough using the fork.

  3. Turn dough out onto a floured surface, and knead for 6 or 8 times so the dough holds together. Pat the dough out to about 3/4 inch thickness, and cut into circles with a biscuit cutter or drinking glass. Place biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with 2 tablespoons milk.

  4. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until bottoms are golden.
