Grammy’s Blackberry Biscuit Bread has it all! On top is a buttery, biscuity bread layer with warming cinnamon-sugar right on top (there are few flavors more welcoming than cinnamon-sugar). But this biscuit bread goes even further, with bursts of blackberry jam and tangy cream cheese baked right in. Finding those pockets of pure goodness is like the tastiest treasure hunt of all. Grammy’s Blackberry Biscuit Bread is just how Grandma used to make it, and then some!
