Cream Cheese Wafer Biscuits

January 12, 2011 by The Runaway Spoon 3 Comments

I have stumbled across this recipe in many community cookbooks over the years, and after seeing it so many times, I just had to try it to see if it’s for real.  It’s so easy, I had a suspicion it was too good to be true.  But, lo and behold, it works. I have seen the recipes titled cream cheese biscuits and cream cheese wafers, but neither is really completely accurate. … [Read more...] about Cream Cheese Wafer Biscuits

Southern Buttermilk Biscuits- A Primer

February 21, 2010 by The Runaway Spoon 26 Comments

Heaven is a Biscuit I love biscuits.  Love them.  I could eat a whole batch at one sitting, even without butter or jam or gravy.  I say I could, because believe it or not I do possess the restraint not to.

Pumpkin Sage Biscuits

Perhaps the most over-looked, undervalued aspect of the Thanksgiving meal is the bread basket.  Now, I love a good dinner roll and I think that’s what ends up on the table most of the time. 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

I'm P.C. I think I am like most people. Somewhere in the middle between food snob and food schlub. Just being in the kitchen makes me happy. I live, mostly in my kitchen, in my hometown of Memphis, Tennessee.
