Experimental Veggie Burgers and Cheesy Biscuits

Okay, you know how sometimes if you say a certain word over and over, it starts to sound really bizarre?  Try it.  Bicycle.  Bicycle.  Bicycle. 

The same thing happened to me just now as I was typing the title to this post.  Biscuits.  Bisciuts?  Biscuits?  Biscuits?  Can this be right?

Anyway, this post is about one ambitious day (the same day, in fact, that I made my luscious Sweet Potato Bisque) that I made up a recipe for my own veggie burgers and made biscuits for the burgers instead of rolls.  Why?  Biscuits are quicker.  Even if “biscuit” is a weird word.

Gateaux au Poivre (Pepper Cakes, or Pepper Biscuits)

Ooooh, are these addictive! 

I first made these about fifteen years ago, and I think it was then that I "discovered" black pepper.  I know.  Sounds goofy.  But until then, to me, pepper was just...salt's straight man.  Salt was the star, Pepper was the supporting actor.  They were always together, but Salt had the top billing, you know? 

Anyway, I don't make pepper biscuits all that often, for the simple reason that I lack self control and I tend to eat these like other people eat potato chips.  I can't stop.  Just make a batch, and you'll see what I mean.
