Two Peas and Their Pod Hell’s Backbone Biscuits by Two Peas on September 10, 2008 Hell’s Backbone Biscuits Last fall I made a trip down to Boulder, Utah. It is pretty much in the middle of nowhere, but a very scenic drive. It was a work trip, but of course I found time to go to the famous Hell’s Backbone Grill. Kalyn, of Kalyn’s Kitchen, did a special post about my trip last year. We were neighbors at the time and I didn’t have a blog yet, so she let me be a guest blogger. It was fun! Anyways, the reason I am talking about Hell’s Backbone Grill today is because of their fantastic biscuits. As soon as you sit down they bring you the most amazing biscuits you will ever lay your tongue on. They simply melt in your mouth! We had leftover buttermilk in the fridge so I knew I had to introduce Josh to these biscuits! I found the recipe in Blake and Jenn’s (the owners’) cookbook: With a Measure of Grace: The Stories and Recipes of a Small Town Restaurant. The biscuits are buttery, tender, and flaky. The hint of black pepper gives them a nice kick. Enjoy them with homemade jam, honey, or more butter if you wish!
