CakeSpy Note: OMG! The 46th Annual Pillsbury Bake-Off is coming! Since I so deeply loved attending the 45th Bake-Off, I thought I would get you excited early by sharing some of the finalists' recipes. Narrowed down from zillions of entries, I'll profile some of the 100 finalists--but of course, based on the subject matter of this site, I will focus on sweets! You can follow them by clicking the bakeoff tag below the post to see which ones have been posted so far. Enjoy!
Although this recipe was dreamed up by Lise Ode of Cumming, Georgia, I prefer to think of this post as an Ode to Lise. Because seriously. This is the best thing ever! Biscuit dough fried to delicious, flaky-cakey perfection and then garnished with the flavors of German chocolate cake (that cake is one of the recipes in my book The Secret Lives of Baked Goods: Sweet Stories & Recipes for America's Favorite Desserts, btw).
