I got this recipe from my wife who got it when she was young from some lady named Hazel Evans. Ms. Evans is gone, but she left us a pretty damned tasty, easy to prepare cake.
It's also worth mentioning that I did not make my own pie crust for this. I struggled with it, but honestly, I really hate making pie crust. Combine that with the convenience of Pillsbury's fairly tasty offering, my rogue rolling pin, my heavy oven usage during the filming, and fate made the decision for me.
I came to appreciate this dish more in my drinking years as a hangover remedy, assuming it's made with hot sausage and tons of cayenne, particularly when served on greasy hashbrowns, topped with eggs over easy and tons of Tobasco.
Homemade biscuits are easy and hard all at the same time. The hard part is keeping everything cold while while managing your moisture levels. This should not be a wet dough.
Well, here we go with yet another exciting new concept for this little culinary sideshow.
Honestly, it went very well and stands as a testament to good planning. The Offspring arrived, we shot tons of video and the food was delightful. Kinda disappointing because everything working out is just not funny.
I needed a context for which to serve my fried green tomatoes and I built a whole menu around it, focusing on Southern American flavors and foodways. I needed more content for YouTube and the website, specifically the website. Recipes. It’s a food blog, after all. I also needed a way to spend more time with my offspring, actually doing something that doesn’t involve us sitting around and consuming beer. I looked at the menu I put together with the tomatoes and got to thinking about Sunday dinners. When families would get together after church, consume a big meal and just “be”.
