Today is my birthday and Dewey asked me what I wanted for breakfast. The first thing that popped in to my mind was BISCUITS! You se, I am from Alabama and biscuits are very, very Southern. My granny made biscuits pretty much every single day. They were heavenly even though they had a big dose of Crisco and a big slathering of Parkay. Since I use both of those ingredients pretty much NEVER, these biscuits aren’t quite the same. They are, however, delicious. Full of butter, flakey goodness and not even a touch sweet (so many recipes call for sugar and that is just WRONG).
My favorite way to enjoy them is with a slice of Jimmy Dean sausage (brought across the border from the US because you can’t get it here) or with honey butter (mix a big pat of butter and honey on your plate and then smear it on your biscuit). Of course butter and jelly are always a hit as well. Do you see a pattern? Biscuits are all about the butter!
Don’g forget that biscuits aren’t just for breakfast either. They are great paired with soups, stews and chill or anything with a sauce. Embrace the under-utilized (other than in the South) quick bread. Mmmmm…… Homemade biscuits make any breakfast better. Biscuits leftoveres freeze well.
