When my grandmother would sit down to eat she always felt so happy and would eat with gusto and heartiness. I think that most people from that era knew just how fortunate they were to have a good meal. This shows the gratefulness of her heart and so she enjoyed each and every bite. She always was so happy to eat that it brings a smile to my face just thinking of her at the table.
This is a simple meal yet it is one of my favorites and it is perfect with some good coffee.
Ingredients:
Slices of crisp bacon
Slice of cheese
An egg prepared your favorite way
For the Biscuits:
2 cups of self-rising flour
1 tsp. sugar
5 tablespoons shortening (unsalted butter or margarine)
1 cup sour milk (this is achieved by adding 1 tsp. vinegar to the milk and letting it sit for a few minutes)
Preheat Oven 350 degrees:
In a bowl combine the flour and sugar.
Add the shorting and crumble with your fingers to incorporate into the flour. Make a well in the center and gradually add the milk, combining it into the flour as you pour.
Gently form the dough. Do Not Overwork the dough or the biscuits will not be fluffy.
Flour a clean surface to roll the dough to about ¾ inch thickness. Cut out biscuits to desired size (a coffee cup works well as the biscuit cutter).
Butter a cast iron pan and place biscuits in the pan.
Bake biscuits for about 18-20 minutes.
Enjoy with Love,
Catherine
