Let’s talk biscuits, yall. I am a southern girl, so you know I love some biscuits. There are so many amazing ways to make them. Angel biscuits, buttermilk biscuits, sweet biscuits, sweet potato biscuits, grands….that is what I grew up eating. My mom was not a biscuit maker, so I learned later in life how to make them. I have always been a pro at eating them, however. I’ve been experimenting with different kinds for years and this is one I learned how to make for Blake’s 30th birthday several years ago when he requested a Southern foods bar outfitted with biscuits and toppings. You can see that party here.
These are so savory and delish and would be amazing with a fig jam or maybe some kind of sweet glazed pork tenderloin in the center of them. I’ll get to work on that…
In the meantime, check this one out and let me know below how you like them!
