Alligator pie, alligator pie,
If I don't get some I think I'm gonna die.
Give away the green grass, give away the sky,
But don't give away my alligator pie.

Cheesy Biscuits by the Lady & Sons

Biscuits. Who the hell doesn't like biscuits? Originally, I would call these things scones, but this a Southern recipe (AMURICA!), so these are biscuits dammit!

Everything you will need is on this webpage right here (click it, click it good, y'all).

So, when I was in Savannah in the Spring of 2010, I went to Paula Deen's restaurant The Lady & Sons. The food was delightful (and terribly fattening - TWO STICKS OF BUTTER, Y'ALL, YOU CAN'T GO WRONG WITH THAT!).
Preach!

The Lady & Sons offers Paula's most wonderful dishes. I had a chicken pot pie for the entrĂ©e and then a slice of key lime pie for dessert. It was awesome, I highly recommend this place. Plus, it's Paula's restaurant, okay. PAULA. 



But the most incredibly tasty thing I had there was this cheesy garlic biscuit. They give them to you like how most restaurants will give you a loaf of bread, only this is a billion times better, but you only get one! I got away with having two because my sister didn't want hers. Aww yesss.
These cheesy garlicy butter balls of awesome sat upon this miniature savory pancake. Before you dig into this thing, you have to drizzle a generous amount of maple syrup to create that harmony of sweet and salty.

I could eat these things all day, 24/7, for the rest of my life.

The biscuits I baked do not look as pretty as their's, but they were so damn delicious, I ate like five of them after taking them out of the oven. They are that good and best when hot and fresh.

I took one bite and I felt like I was having an affair
that defied all logic and reason, but it felt so right.

Before you place them in the oven, you have to dab them with garlic butter. And then, no lie, you dab them with even more garlic butter after taking them out. THEY ARE SO YUMMY AND I AM BAKING MORE TOMORROW (this is going to be my third batch in the past couple days, SEND HELP).
