I recently indulged in some fantastic, buttery biscuits, and while I do enjoy them by themselves, it's fun to try a twist on a beloved baked good. Using materials I had lying around, I found this fun way to spruce up the ordinary biscuit. You'll surprise yourself with how quickly you'll transform flour to tasty biscuits. I found myself waiting for the biscuits to finish baking rather than the cranberry sauce to finish cooking. (Is this a sauce or chutney?) While the chutney brings in its anticipated sweet and fruity qualities, it seems to harmonize with the decidedly creamy elements of both biscuit and Brie. I did try one with the Brie rind on, and I found it ok, but James thought the rind robbed the palate's attention from the stars of the show. Nevertheless, I say customize it to your heart's content!

What about you? Do you cut off the rind or leave it on?
