Tasty in so many ways as a side dish, potatoes lend flavour and moisture to another traditional P.E.I. specialty: biscuits.
Ingredients
- 2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
- 3/4 cup shredded Gouda cheese
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 3/4 cup mashed potatoes
- 1 egg yolk
Preparation
In large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cayenne pepper. With pastry blender, cut in butter until crumbly with a few larger pieces. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup (125 mL) of the cheese.
In separate bowl, whisk buttermilk with potatoes until smooth; pour over dry ingredients. With fork, toss together until ragged dough forms. Turn out onto floured counter; knead 3 or 4 times until dough holds together. Press into rectangle about 9 x 6 inches (23 x 15 cm). Cut into 12 finger-shaped biscuits.
Dust rimless baking sheet generously with all-purpose flour; transfer biscuits to sheet. Brush with egg yolk; sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake in centre of 400°F (200°C) oven until golden brown, about 18 minutes.
