Kitchen Tips
Tip 1
Food Facts
For a more tender biscuit, flour the work surface with the least amount of flour possible to prevent the dough from sticking to the surface.
Tip 2
Shortcut
To easily get 2/3 cup plain mashed sweet potatoes, pierce 3/4 lb. whole sweet potato with fork; wrap in damp paper towel. Microwave on HIGH 7 to 8 min. or until tender. Cut potato lengthwise in half; scoop out centers into medium bowl. Mash; measure 2/3 cup. Continue as directed.
Tip 3
Substitute
Substitute 1/2 tsp. dried thyme leaves for the fresh thyme.
