whomp’em

Do you know what whomp’ems are?

When we were home for Christmas, my Step-Grandmother told us, Whomp’ems are canned biscuits “because you Whomp’em on the counter!” We thought it was hilarious!!

So, now that you know what whomp’ems are, let me tell you a story. My mom makes some of the best homemade biscuits ever. They are light and flaky and everything a good biscuit should be (Damn, I want homemade biscuits now!!). But she doesn’t always make homemade biscuits. Sometimes she wanted a fast dinner and uses whomp’ems. I’m not a fan of canned biscuits. That could be because my mom has a special way of cooking them. She puts them in the oven until they are as black as night, the smoke alarm goes off, and everyone in house screams “Biscuits are done!”

I’ve told her many times she doesn’t have to wait for us to scream the biscuits are done to remove them from the oven, but that is how she likes to cook them! (I’m making myself laugh while typing this just so you know. And I’m not exaggerating when I say the smoke alarm goes off, and it doesn’t matter where you are in the house, you scream biscuits are done.)

Oh yea. These need a while. I can still see white!!!

She doesn’t burn them on purpose, of course, and I’ve never seen her burn homemade biscuits. I think my dad sneaks over to the stove and turns on the broiler, so she burns them, in a way to discourage her from making canned biscuits and stick to the real thing:) I can’t prove that, though. Growing up, we just pulled the burnt parts off and ate them anyways. It’s a big joke in my family that Huck and my brother-in-law, Michael, are now in on.

So, I told you that story to tell you this story. I burn biscuits, too. End of story! It must be genetic!

This was a dish I made for a Super Bowl party, too.

The other day, I was feeling really lazy, and didn’t want to cook but didn’t want to eat out either. I was rummaging through the kitchen and found everything for chicken pot pie. We even had a can of whomp’ems in the fridge for the crust.

I mixed everything together and walked away. When the timer went off, I pulled my pot pie out of the oven and realized I burnt them too!!

They were only mildly burnt. We didn’t have to pull off a layer :)

I guess me and my mom were not meant to use canned biscuits!

My Whomp’em Pot Pie really isn’t a recipe. I just wanted an excuse to tell you my story, and I would recommend using a flakier biscuit for this recipe. These were good, but they were more like rolls. I cut them into small pieces and mixed them up with filing.

Now, I’m off to the gym. This is week 3 of going to the gym regularly. I’m starting to see definition in my arms. You better watch out Huck!!

    It took me 10 minutes to read this blog, I was laughing so hard I was crying. HA HA! Well now I can say you can cook like me, Ha Ha! When making pot pie use bisquick,but leave it a little runnier than when making pan cakes then pour over the ingredients it will be thin but just as good as home made crust. Thanks for the good memory and laugh, Love You, Mom

      I usually make a dough for the top, but I was being lazy! I’m glad you got a good laugh though!

    I’ve never tried biscuits on top of a pot pie, but one of my recipes suggests it. I always use pie crust, but biscuits sound better. My friend seriously burned some of those biscuits on Thanksgiving, but we still ate them… Oh well!

      I’ve never used biscuits like that before either. I usually make a biscuit mix to add on top. My mom uses Bisquick and water. I think the canned biscuit companies needs to reevaluate the directions! They burn so easily.
