Ingredients
•
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
•
2 tablespoons baking powder
•
1 teaspoon salt
•
1/4 cup sugar
•
1/4 cup butter or margarine
•
1 1/2 cups leftover mashed potatoes
•
1 egg, beaten
•
1/3 cup cold water
•
1/3 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.
