My list:
1. Stick a hole in them with the end of a knife and pour molasses or honey inside.
2. Spread butter over them.
3. Put a sausage patty in there!
4. Jam, jam, and more jam.
5. GRAVY on top!!!!!
6. Put them on top of casseroles.
7. Eat them PLAIN!
8. Cut in half and broil with butter.
9. Crumble into dressing.
10. Feed to the goats! (Stale! Extra! Or, you know, Clover gets a fresh one sometimes. With molasses.)
Now you.

I think in England these are called scones. Definitely sliced in half and each half smothered in homemade strawberry jam and a good old dollop of Cornish clotted cream. Eaten with a pot of hot tea for a Cornish cream tea. Oh My!!

1. Split, buttered, and browned up in a cast iron frypan over a campfire. Then spread with homemade jam, honey, etc.
2. Baked on top of chicken pie.
And my favorite from childhood memories: A warm biscuit broken up in a tin cup and topped with hot maple syrup straight from the saphouse.

2. Split, buttered, with a thick slice of a frsh from the garden tomato.
3. I made strawberry biscuits this summer. Had a cup of sliced sweetened strawberries and juice left in the fridge. Dumped it in the milk before adding it to the flour mix. Baked and then put more sliced strawberries on top for strawberry shortcake. Talk about good stuff! Hmmm…next, maybe peach shortcake, blackberry shortcake, apple with cinnamon. Ahh, things to do this winter.
4. Make my own Hardee’s biscuits.

5. Forgot to add chocolate gravy to the list.
6. And, my dad used to make “soakies”. After he finished supper, he would put a split biscuit on his plate and pour his creamed coffee over it. It’s not too bad. He loved Mom’s biscuits.

Love them with sausage gravy. I also like them with butter and jam. Most of my family likes them crumbled into a mason jar of buttermilk.

Actually I make the dough into cinnamon rolls and almost never have any leftovers.
However, ????????????? I’m not unusual I just eat them, plain or if the guys are fortunate they get them leftover for breakfast or with soup for lunch or dinner.

Let them dry out a day or so and turn them into a creamy bread pudding!

Beef stew poured over biscuits.
Deanna, my Dad would pour his coffee over biscuits and then add some evaporated milk!Of course he would also pour his coffee over crackers or toast.

This country girl loves a buttered hot biscuit with a thick slice of tomato on top. When my kids were growing up a big pan of biscuits, hot from the oven, fresh butter, and a big platter of sliced tomatoes would be all we had for lunch on Saturday. Last night I celebrated my last two huge garden tomatoes by having only biscuits and tomatoes for dinner.
Most of my favorite uses for biscuits has been named already, but one of my favorites is to cook up a pot of brown beans with ham and break up biscuits in the bottom of the bowl and top with mostly bean juice and some beans and ham and chopped onions. YUM!
