My great-grandmother was a fantastic baker. She was one of those people who always had something handy to offer if you just happened to stop by. I don’t remember every eating biscuits at her house, but as a teen I used to love to look through her antique cookbooks and read the recipes. This was one I found in her handwriting.
Now I make these biscuits for a special breakfast treat and, more often, to go with chicken pot pie soup (My Little Man’s favorite). They’re not your typical Southern biscuit – but then, Grandma wasn’t Southern. Instead, they have a distinctive taste and get golden and crisp on the outside, soft and flaky on the inside. I hope you like these as much as we do!
