Carrie Morey started her company, Callie's Charleston Biscuits, with a simple goal: She wanted to make her mother Callie's delicious biscuits--unbelievably tender, buttery creations--accessible across the country. Carrie's handmade biscuits combine unique, brilliant flavors--sharp cheddar with fresh chives, cracked black pepper with cream cheese and green onions, and cinnamon biscuits so buttery they melt in your mouth. The biscuits are an iconic Southern staple, but they are just the beginning.
Now Carrie Morey shares her modern approach to traditional Southern cooking in more than one hundred recipes that pair classic Lowcountry fare with surprising twists, for incredible results. Carrie guides you through the foundational techniques of Southern cooking to reveal how she developed her new takes on favorite heritage dishes and how to take the fuss and huge time investment out of traditional preparations. She shares skillet recipes passed down through generations, including Lemon Zest Cast-Iron Fried Shrimp, Macaroni Pie, and Cast-Iron Herb Lamb Chops. She gives roasting and slow-cooking techniques for Beef Stew with Herbed Sour Cream, Spicy Black-Eyed Pea Salad, and Roasted Pimento Cheese Chicken. Her DILLicious Cucumber Sandwiches, BBQ Chicken Salad Biscuits, Fiery Pimento Cheese Deviled Eggs, and Summer Crab Salad will make any picnic or casual get-together a true Southern affair. And her desserts are to die for: Mama's Sour Cream Banana Pudding, Alex's Chocolate Chess Pie (so good that Carrie credits the pie for sparking her and her husband's whirlwind romance), and Blueberry and Peach Cobbler finish your meal on the perfect sweet note.
Carrie also shares her family stories behind each recipe--growing up in Charleston, learning to cook from great Southern matriarchs, and founding and growing her business. Fill your kitchen with the comforting aroma of home-cooked goodness with Callie's Biscuits and Southern Traditions.

White Lily Self Rising flour is widely used in the south, but is not available in Canada (online is way too pricey), but she offers the measurements to make your own. Tip: I add an extra 1 tsp. Baking Powder per 2 cups of our self rising flour equivalent called 'Brodie'. I promise you, I've had great, fluffy and delicious biscuits each time!


I was searching through my cookbook indexes for "pork loin" on Eat Your Books and I happened to have all of the ingredients on hand to make the one in the Callie's Biscuit cookbook, so I figured why not? The result was the best ever pork loin - incredibly juicy and tender (even though I used less maple syrup than called for). My previous go-to was Suzanne Goin's fantastic recipe center cut pork loin, which I still love, but it takes more prep time and makes a spatter-y mess of my stove. Callie's recipe only made a mess of the dutch oven, so no big deal.
Of course, if you only get this book for the biscuits, it's a total keeper just for those. If you've had a taste of any of Callie's biscuits at her Charleston shops, you know that her biscuits are the ones to judge all others by... expect for your mama's or grandmama's, provided they make/made great biscuits.
There are plenty of recipes in the book of biscuits and beyond, and plenty of photos to go along with.
If you are a fan of Southern cooking (which means a fan of good cooking in general ๐), you will find plenty of great recipes here. I love this book far more than I expected.
