The Lady's Cheese Biscuits & Garlic Butter - Paula Deen

"I live in Savannah, Georgia, and have encountered these biscuits straight from The Lady & Sons restaraunt. They're incredible! At my former workplace, we had the Lady & Sons cater lunches for training seminars and these were always the first to disappear. This is from a recipe that ran in the Savannah Morning News a few years ago. The sharp cheddar is my preference, although the original recipe simply states "cheddar". If making the jumbo, ice-cream scoop biscuits, this will make about four."

  1. This is NOT the same as the biscuits at Lady and Sons. I was just there and when I got home I made this recipe EXACTLY (no substitutions). They are good, but not what I had at the restaurant.
     
  2. Great recipe my entire family loved it. It is a great Southern biscuit. I did add some garlic powder into the biscuit since we didn't make the garlic butter
     
  3. I made these last night, and even though I had to sour my skim milk with vinegar,(no buttermilk in fridge...) they turned out delicious. Brushed them with melted butter with a little garlic powder and parsley. YUM!
     
  4. These were wonderful!! The added garlic butter was so fabulous!! Easy and quick to get ready and very tasty!! Thanks for posting!!
     
  5. These are so good and very easy to make. I got this recipe out of Paula Deen's cookbook. The only difference I see is that in the cookbook it calls for 1/3 C shortening. I didn't use the garlic butter but they were still delish.

Behold, the worst picture of me ever taken, I think. I'm in distress over the paint color that you see behind me, and am suffering from brain scramble after looking at too many potential paint colors over a very short amount of time. However, it's one of those "me, now" pics that amuse me, so I figured I'd share. Onward... Hi there! Self description always throws me, but I'll try: I'm a hyper, writing, Yoga-practicing, fashion-loving, almost-constantly-reading, very Type A, highly domestic ovo-lacto vegetarian who is obsessed with Nutella and has a very personable German Shepherd/Husky mix named Totsi. I think that just about covers it. Sometimes, everyone needs a little Totsi, so here she "bee": <a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a44/gokittengo/almostdone.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"></a>
