About

A simple dish that can go dramatically wrong if the biscuits are not prepared with care. When executed with the right ingredients and the proper hand, they become magical and quite provocative. Sourcing real pure maple syrup for the berries is an absolute must! Our all-time favorite maple syrup is from Laurel & Ash Farm in the Hudson Valley. It’s wood fired, deeply rich in flavor, and truly spectacular. You need to freeze these biscuit babies before baking, so be sure to plan accordingl
