Breakfast Bisquits


The best bisquits in town aren't really here--they're in Nashville, Indiana, only about 16 miles away at the Artist Colony in the heart of Brown County. Its a wonderful bed and breakfast with a restaurant open to the public. Its an ideal getaway for Sunday breakfast, particularly for lovers of art and those familiar with the "Hoosier School" of impressionists such as T.C. Steele.


That aside, the subject is breakfast and more specifically bisquits. No where else do bisquits rise as high as these--sometimes as much as two inches. And no others are as light and fluffy inside as these palm-sized perfections. Having never tasted artery clogging bisquits and gravy, I can't attest to how these hold up to a slatthering of white gravy with big chunks of pork sausage. But let me tell you, these gems are perfect, served warm and split in half with a speading of real butter and maybe some strawberry jam. Yum. Yum. There's nothing better. They truly are a work of art.

You've never experienced biscuits & gravy?!?! C'mon Gail, you've got to try them, and I'll bet Artist Colony would be a good place for your first. It's a must for a southern Indiana Hoosier.
