Notes
Always make your biscuits first. Lay the cutout biscuits on a cookie sheet and store in the refrigerator until you're ready for them. This ensures the butter stays cold to keep the flakiness.
This recipe makes 6 cups of filling. My cast iron skillet was just big enough but it did boil over just a bit.
This recipe is best enjoyed fresh because the biscuits have more texture. However, you can store any leftovers in the refrigerator.
You can use fresh vegetables in this recipe as well! Just combine your favorites with the filling.
