A Lesson in Biscuits With Callie’s Hot Little Biscuit

You know those days that are just the. best. days? The ones when you stop to slow down and ones you know you’ll always cherish?  That was our recent afternoon spent with Carrie Morey, founder of Callie’s Hot Little Biscuit here in Atlanta and Callie’s Charleston Biscuits.  The team was lucky enough to get an insider’s peek into the magic that is Carrie’s homemade, hot little biscuits (and believe me, they were soooo good).  We were welcomed into the Callie’s Hot Little Biscuit kitchen to learn the secrets behind the tender, buttery, made-by-hand biscuits by Carrie’s mother, Callie, that have received press from Saveur, Food & Wine, Southern Living, The New York Times and Oprah (just to name a few). 

The team arrived ready to learn (and get their hands dirty), donned in our gorgeous new Waiting on Martha team aprons by Oatmeal Lace. We learned that baking the best homemade biscuits is really all about a few good, simple ingredients (apparently you shouldn’t even dream of making biscuits with any type of flour but White Lily), and of course patience for the steps that can only be taught by a loving hand. 

As we waited for our buttermilk and shortcake biscuits to bake, we chatted with Carrie and could see how biscuits, truly an iconic Southern staple, can be done SO many different ways. We happily taste-tested several unique (and irresistible) combinations from Callie’s Hot Little Biscuit menu, from warm grits in a sharp cheddar biscuit bowl to sweet shortcake biscuits with warm cinnamon butter and a homemade chocolate pecan poptart. We kept joking that she’d have to roll us out of there! Everything we tasted was just so good. 

A big thank you to Carrie and team for welcoming us into their kitchen for a little biscuit bootcamp and quality team bonding.  I know we’ll be talking about this bake sesh for years to come!  Truly, MKR

P.S. If you’re craving biscuits now, but can’t make it to Atlanta or Charleston anytime soon, don’t fret; Callie’s Hot Little Biscuits can be found at all of these retailers across the country AND they ship nationwide! xo
