I have wanted to make a clear broth clam chowder with the clams I have been harvesting, thanks to my most recent hobby. I was trying to think of something to have along side of it that would be a nice compliment, but not overshadow. @ChocoMom came to the rescue with her garlic cheese biscuits and in subsequent chatter, @Thanks for the Crepes came up with a recipe using Bisquick. Next to the Bisquick, I happened to see this much smaller (and cheaper) product that seemed to be the answer. So, I pulled the trigger.
Back to the clams. I used a recipe that I found online from a favorite local oyster bar.

I followed the recipe to the T, except that I used salt pork instead of bacon, because that is what I had.
Here are the 8 pounds of clams the recipe calls for:
Here is the finished chowder:
The biscuits, which were excellent, and perfect for the side I was looking for:
Winner, winner, chicken chowder dinner!!!
