Cathead Biscuits
For the right crispy texture, do not substitute butter or margarine for the lard in these biscuits, and serve them with plenty of butter and homemade fruit preserves, molasses, or sorghum syrup. According to recipe author Jim Villas, cathead biscuits must be shaped by hand, not cut evenly with a biscuit cutter. The dough will be more crumbly than mealy, the texture of the biscuits should be slightly crunchy on the outside, and they should be baked only in a cast iron skillet.
Huevos Rancheros
A soft fried egg atop flavorful chorizo and beans and garnished with fresh cilantro and lime is a tasty way to start the weekend. Nothing says brunch quite like homemade huevos rancheros. Here’s how we like to prepare this Mexican classic.
Simple Cast Iron Skillet Cornbread
This easy three-ingredient cast iron skillet cornbread is as simple as it gets and makes a great base for adding more adventurous flavors.
Cheddar cheese and jalapeños, avocados and bacon, blue cheese and buffalo chicken, or cranberries and oranges are all tasty ways you could modify this classic recipe. Of course, it's just as tasty served warm from the skillet with butter or honey!
Apple Cinnamon Dutch Baby
Also called a German Pancake, a Dutch Baby is a quick dish that's as fun to watch puff up in the oven as it is to eat. This version is topped with apples and cinnamon, and will make your home smell like autumn has arrived!
Braised Kale With Bacon And Onions
Greens slow-cooked with bacon are about as Southern as it gets, but when the greens are young and fresh, they don’t always need that traditional long, slow simmer to make them tender. When that is the case, historian and cookbook author Damon Lee Fowler likes to braise them instead. The method cuts the cooking time considerably while still infusing the greens with that rich traditional flavor.
