The owner of the legendary Hoosier Mama Pie Company turns breakfast into an art form with this go-to guide for baking scones, muffins, and other morning favorites.
In the fifteen years since Paula Haney started Hoosier Mama Pie Company, it has become both a local favorite and national destination, widely regarded as one of the top pie shops in the country. But not everyone wants pie for breakfast, and after opening an Evanston location that opened at 6:30 a.m., Haney and her team began to dream up new sweet and savory bakes for the perfect morning.
With the same focus on local produce and fresh, seasonal ingredients that made her pies a Chicago institution, and the same warmth and easygoing style of The Hoosier Mama Book of Pie, Haney again invites home bakers into her kitchen—this time with a collection of budget-friendly recipes that largely go from idea to eating in under an hour. This book is meant to be kept on the kitchen counter with a dusting of flour between its pages. It’s a working manual with practical tips and techniques along with base recipes that can handle endless variations, encouraging readers to discover their own favorite combinations.
Whether it’s browned butter banana-Nutella quick bread, scones packed with maple and bacon or strawberries and basil, tender Danishes with cream cheese and fruit, or biscuit sandwiches with all the fixings, these delicious, approachable recipes will make everyday breakfast feel like a special occasion—all before the coffee’s even brewed.
Paula Haney is the founder of Chicago’s beloved Hoosier Mama Pie Company and author of the acclaimed The Hoosier Mama Book of Pie. With over two decades of experience in fine dining and pastry arts, Paula has redefined the art of pie-making, blending classic American traditions with innovative flavors. Her work has been featured in Bon Appétit, Food & Wine, and the Food Network. When not baking, she enjoys teaching and mentoring future pastry chefs. Paula lives in Chicago with her family, who continue to be her most enthusiastic taste-testers.
