Made famous by: Kay Kautz of Decatur, whose mother, Margaret Zevalkink, used to serve these little biscuits at book club meetings in Kent, Ohio, where she lived for 38 years. "I think there was always a Margaret Zevalkink book club, " Kautz said. This recipe, originally made with homemade biscuit dough but later modified for convenience, "was a hit with the ladies for the first course, " Kautz said.

Vary these little biscuit bites by sprinkling with fresh Parmesan cheese instead of cheddar, or a combination of the two. You also can sprinkle them with oregano or cayenne pepper before popping them in the oven.
