I tend to think the best recipes, and the best dishes, are those shared among friends. Those with tips and hints and “I always do it this way…” caveats. My friend Holly served this bread at a recent Book Club meeting, and everyone begged for the recipe (and for her flank steak recipe as well).

If you are lucky, you have a family member who specializes in good, old-fashioned Parker house or cloverleaf or fantan rolls and they provide them every year. And make no mistake, there are … [Read more...] about Pumpkin Sage Biscuits
