Briggs' Buttermilk Biscuits
We love how the tops and bottoms of these biscuits are slightly crispy and the inside stays tender and flaky. We often receive photos on social media from Lodge users showing us what they’ve made in their cast iron cookware. When William Briggs posted a photo of buttermilk biscuits in his Lodge skillet to our Facebook page, we knew we wanted to try them. He generously sent us his recipe, and we baked it the same week. The Lodge staff agrees, William’s buttermilk biscuit recipe is definitely worth adding to your skillet baking repertoire.
Brother Anselm's Famous Popovers
This simple popover recipe came from Brother Anselm Clark, a monk with a baking background who lived at the Marion Mission near Lodge's hometown of South Pittsburg, Tennessee. Clark was trained at the Culinary Institute of America in New Haven, and his bread baking came to be greatly anticipated by all. Here's his popover recipe, which we included in the Lodge Cast Iron Cookbook.

Did you know classic fudge brownies taste even better when baked in cast iron? It's true. Top them with homemade whipped cream for an instant, crowd-pleasing dessert.

A panoply of pears and apples puts this crisp a notch above the rest. Using whole oats and turbinado sugar enhances the texture for an extra crispy top.

Warm Chocolate Chunk Cookie
Hands-down, this is the one-skillet dessert that brings everyone to the table. No matter how many of your guests say they’re not eating dessert, if you pull this warm cookie from the oven, place it on a trivet in the middle of the table, then pile on ice cream, it’s almost impossible to resist. The trick is not to overbake it—keep it “medium rare” so the edges are crispy, but the center is soft and spoonable.
