Tender Potato Biscuits Recipe

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

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 inch thickness and cut into circles with a biscuit cutter or drinking glass. Place biscuits onto an ungreased baking sheet. Brush the tops with 2 tablespoons milk.

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