Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon 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 -- plus 1 tablespoon
extra milk for brushing the tops
Preheat the oven to 450F (230C).
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.
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" thickness,
and cut into circles with a biscuit cutter or drinking glass. Place
biscuits onto an ungreased baking sheet. Brush the tops with a bit of milk.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until bottoms are golden.
