Every good biscuit tells a story. The recipe, the shape, what’s inside — all bring to mind flour-dusted rolling pins, family meals, and local traditions. This humble bread once meant to quickly feed hardworking people still does the trick, whether stuffed with sausage at a gas station grill or slathered with jam at a fancy brunch. When we bite into a cheese biscuit in Wilson or a livermush biscuit in Charlotte, we’re dining on our shared history, too.
Call them catheads or drop biscuits — either way, bigger is better.
