Let raise and bake
Modern guidance to help you succeed with this vintage recipe
Mashed potatoes add moisture and starch to the dough, creating an exceptionally tender crumb while extending shelf life by retaining water. The potato starch also contributes to a softer texture than all-flour biscuits. The yeast fermentation develops complex flavors and creates a light, airy structure, while the sugar feeds the yeast and promotes browning through the Maillard reaction.
The dough can be prepared through the first rise, then punched down, shaped, covered tightly with plastic wrap, and refrigerated overnight. Allow the shaped biscuits to come to room temperature and complete their second rise (about 45-60 minutes) before baking.
Store baked biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze in a freezer bag for up to 3 months. Reheat frozen biscuits in a 350°F oven for 10-12 minutes, or thaw at room temperature and warm briefly before serving.
