If your homemade biscuits are better suited for table hockey rather than consumption, head over to First Awakenings instead. The crew knows biscuits here, so fluffy that it’s like eating a cloud, if clouds were smothered in Italian sausage gravy and served with eggs and potatoes. The best biscuits should be so light that they almost defy gravity, not like most that can be used as doorstops. Thankfully, First Awakenings has the former.
