About me: I collect cookbooks and love to cook and try new recipes. I tested recipes for Leite's Culinaria for almost eight years. I learned to cook from many good southern cooks including my Mom, Dad, several Aunts and my Grandmothers. My children and husband also like to cook and try new foods and recipes. My son still lives with us but our daughter is married. She often visits to cook with me. We are adventuresome eaters willing to try new things.

Callie's Biscuits and Southern Traditions: Heirloom Recipes from Our Family Kitchen

By Carrie Morey
Atria Books - 2013

8th March 2014

Black Pepper Biscuits : page 21

I really enjoyed these biscuits and hubby liked them too. They were very fluffy from the cream cheese and butter and we loved the kick the pepper gave them. I'm loving this book too as it's as much fun to read as cook from.

I used some of my leftover Black Pepper Biscuits (p. 21) to make this salad and it was so delicious. I've had Panzanella salad before and loved it but it was even better with toasted biscuits. Simple, easy to make and so satisfying. I didn't have lemon balm so used the option to substitute lemon zest.

I suppose these could be an appetizer but I made them for our supper. I made her classic buttermilk biscuits page 17 then I made Smoked Sausage with Spicy Mustard Mayo to put on those biscuits. Both delicious.
