Thimble Biscuits – This scrumptious thimble biscuit recipe is from my friends at Martha White and Smucker’s. I just can’t think Martha White and Smucker’s without thinking of biscuits and jam. This simple creation takes so few ingredients to prepare with such a pleasing result they’re sure to become a family favorite. Thimble biscuits are homemade biscuits filled with your favorite preserves or jam. Baked to perfection and served hot. It doesn’t get any better than that!
On my recent visit to Nashville to spend time with the folks at Martha White, Smucker’s and White Lily, the team at DVL was excited to let us in on some news.
