But what REALLY wowed me about this cookie is that it is served up in an IRON SKILLET! Now, I don't know about all of my readers, but if you happen to be from the South (USA), then you know that if something is being served up in a cast iron skillet, it's gotta be good! I'm talking old fashioned-- full of Mama/Grandma memories--- with a BIG family sitting around the table- Southern Fried Chicken on the Bone---Sweet cornbread--- GOOD! (OK, you describe it however you will :-).
So, what magazine was smart enough to serve up that recipe? It was TASTE OF THE SOUTH magazine. I didn't know they existed- in fact, they are fairly new. To be honest, I was a little skeptical before I downloaded it to my Kindle (Do they really know about Southern Food?); but since I get 30 days of free viewing on my Kindle, I took the chance. Now this was their "Annual Cast-Iron Issue," and it boasted on the front cover that I would find "the South's Best Fried Chicken" inside. Enough said!
Other than those delicious-sounding cookies I mentioned, here are a few of the other recipes that I found inside.
- Pinto Beans with Smoked Hamhocks
- Shrimp Etouffee
- Cast Iron Steaks w/Mushroom Sauce
- Strawberry Pound Cake (Hint: it's baked in a cast-iron skillet)
- Pineapple Upside Cake
- Skillet Blackberry Cobbler
- Bacon and Okra Griddle Cakes
- Salmon Croquettes
- Cajun Salmon Croquette Burgers
...and more!
And if you are really from the South, you can't help but appreciate a good magazine, like this. Get your own copy at Amazon.com.
