You can’t get it at Waffle House, you can’t get it at IHOP. In fact, you can’t get it at any restaurant that I know of. You can only get it at home. Biscuit Toast.
It’s the perfect breakfast food straight out of your mom’s cookbook. You transform last night’s biscuits into a breakfast bonanza. You can use one of your biscuit halves to sop up the runny yellow from a fried egg or you can slather one with blackberry jam. It’s all good.
Last Sunday night, I came back from Bojangles with a box of Fried Chicken and four, fat Bojangles Biscuits. Nancy ate one biscuit, but I converted the others into Biscuit Toast on consecutive mornings.
With Bojangles biscuits you must use caution in splitting the biscuits, so they don’t crumble and fall apart, then you spread lots of butter – real butter, not margarine – on top and pop them in the oven and broil till golden brown. It’s worth it to order a box of chicken just for the biscuits you can toast. Pillsbury’s canned biscuits also make good toast, but the best was your mom’s homemade biscuits, toasted and split in half – and I could eat a half dozen at a single sitting.
Maybe someday, somewhere, a restaurant will offer homemade biscuit toast. If they do, I’ll be there.
