Happy October, everyone! I hope you have enjoyed reading and cooking some great recipes so far. Every day we hear positive feedback from more of your readers out there, and it is so encouraging to us! Keep your comments comin'!
Southern Biscuits (from p. 45 of the BCC): Today's tasty treat is something you dear "Southern Mamas" are probably very familiar with - you may even have your own special variations of this recipe that your families love, and if so, please tell us about it! These biscuits are traditionally heavier and denser, so don't worry when you pull them from the oven -they're supposed to come out that way! It makes them much better for eating with gravy - you need a hearty bread that won't fall apart. One thing I love about the BCC recipe is that you make them small - only about 2 inches in diameter at most. (Then you can have more, and not feel guilty!)
I mentioned gravy, and that's how we ate it today... You may be familiar with sausage gravy, but Mom made a chicken gravy that her grandma used to make, and it was sooo yummy! It was very easy, just chicken and cream-of-chicken soup. Cut the biscuits in half on your plate, and smother them with gravy. Add a side of corn and home-grown beans, and you are in for a comforting treat that will rival Cracker Barrel.
So, Southern Mamas, how do you serve Southern biscuits?
i have never made any biscuits out of my bcc, i will definitely give them a try now :) glenda
