...Southern Sampler...

...this was one of the Man's presents...he loves the old Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs shows...and his Blue Grass Band once opened for and played with Lester Flatt (years ago)...



...anywhooo...the old shows were sponsored by Martha White Flour...with Hot Rise...and in each program they had an advert with a recipe...so I was searching online for some of their booklets for a present for the Man...I didn't find any...but I did find this compilation book of recipes...

...and since we still need quick breakfast ideas for Scout here in ND for a few more days...we decided to whip up a batch of Cinnamon Biscuits for breakfast...

...hardly anything could have been quicker...a pretty marble-y dough...

...and with the wonder of 'Hot Rise'...by the time Scout was out of the shower we had lovely fragrant sweetly iced cinnamon biscuits...

...they were really good...or to quote Flatt and Scruggs...'Goodness, gracious, sakes alive . . . they're good!'

  1. My man is a fan of Flatt and Scruggs, but nothing so amazing as a Blue Grass Band - that's impressive.

    Those biscuits - they're scones here. Where I come from they are pronounced sco... as in Scott. Others pronounce them scow... as in throne.

    I love them.

  2. Played the clip and told Ian about The Man's connection with Flatt and Scruggs. Oh WOW he said. He was most impressed.
