Description
To truly appreciate this modern culinary creation, it helps to understand the anatomy of a stuffed biscuit. Traditional American biscuits are celebrated for their flaky, laminated layers and buttery crumb, usually served split open with a pat of butter, sweet jam, or a ladle of thick sausage gravy. A biscuit bomb flips this concept entirely on its head by turning the pastry into an enclosed, self contained vessel.
