Friday through Monday, a brief and secret portal to the sublime opens in Suttons Bay when the exhaust fans at Gold Baby Biscuits send warm-biscuit wafts into the cold morning air.
Owners Alicia Manson and Lyndsey Egli, the proprietresses of this Midwestern micro-eatery, have honed biscuit bona fides that will stand the test of any Southern farmhouse kitchen. The biscuits are perfectly golden and impressively vertical with an ultra-thin crisp veneer that belies an airy, buttery core. They are delicious as is, unadulterated, but the transition from baked good to religious experience occurs when a Gold Baby biscuit assumes sandwich form, slathered in pimento cheese and stacked with smoky, air-cured bacon and sweet pickles. For the breakfast-minded, there’s a delicious iteration offered with sausage, egg, cheddar and maple syrup. Biscuit minimalists can opt for a simple smear of butter and jam.
