Ask for ‘the best biscuit recipe’, and you’ll likely get 1000 different answers. Nathalie Dupree’s two-ingredient cream biscuits! No, my grandma’s, but you must use White Lily flour! For make-at-home, the options may be myriad, but if it’s fresh-baked you’re after, head to Callie’s Hot Little Biscuit. Go simple with a plain ole buttermilk or bold with a pimento-stuffed situation.

Simply outstanding. We can hardly imagine a better way to describe this pint-sized bakery. The menu changes daily, and the queue outside can snake around the corner, so we like to call in our orders by phone. If you find yourself with a spare window, scoop up a loaf of the benne sourdough (that’s ‘sesame’ in Gullah, or Sea Island Creole), grab some nibbly bits from goat.sheep.cow. and set up a little picnic at White Point Garden.
