Great Recipes

Reviewed in Canada on 1 March 2022

Carrie's biscuit company (Hot Little Biscuit) is not available in Canada but because I do love a good biscuit, I bought this book. And it doesn't disappoint. I especially love the variety of recipes. I've tried several (hence my delay in the review) and each recipe has turned out perfectly. One doesn't have to have a lot of biscuit knowledge - Carrie will teach you that! - but this book offers so much more. I'm still thrilled with it and refer to it often.
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!

The last place I expected to find a recipe for the best pork loin I've ever had/made was a biscuit cookbook.

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 😉), you will find plenty of great recipes here. I love this book far more than I expected.

Incorrect measurement in recipe for black pepper biscuits

I bought this book because of her black pepper biscuits, and then I discovered from another reviewer that the amount of black pepper was wrong in the book. It should read TEASPOON not TABLESPOON. Be warned before you make the recipe. I thought the biscuits were delicious and worth the price of the book just to have the recipe.

This is a great cookbook

I don’t know how this cookbook ever got anything less than 5 stars. For those who want her pimento cheese recipe in here, it is clear she sells that already prepared and states this and you can use it or your favorite in recipes calling for it. There are fabulous recipes, stories and pictures in this book. It will quickly become a much used one in my kitchen.

Pimento cheese recipe???

Reviewed in the United States on 24 May 2018

The cream cheese biscuits are heavenly. What is missing is the recipe for pimento cheese. I live on the left coast and can’t get good ol’ southern food, so her recipe for pimento cheese would have been perfect.

I caught one of her shows on tv, when i was in the hospital for a few days. She is a interesting person and you can tell she cares what she does.
I LOVE biscuits and her book is well written with stories (background) and ingredients.
This book has other recipes as well, food.
I will be keeping this book.

Love Callie's biscuits; discovered them in Charleston, SC last year. Her cookbook retails for $30 so this was a great price. Lots of good recipes in here besides just biscuits but her biscuits are amazing and I've perfected how to make them because of this cookbook.
