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

My grandmother ate with much gusto too, Catherine. Oh those were the days!
However, since breakfast foods for some reason, are truly my favorites, I'd have no problem stuffing this homemade treat in my mouth with just as much gusto!
Thank you so much for sharing...

That might be simple but it's really hard to beat. I love it. I might have mine with tea, though.

Hi Catherine, very scrumptious biscuit. Bacon,eggs and cheese are the most perfect triplet. The biscuit look good too. Will give this a try for my breakfast or lunch.
Have a lovely week ahead, regards. God blessed.

Hi Catherine, I agree our grandparents did greatly appreciate and understood the value of a good meal.
Your biscuit looks wonderful and is the most "perfect" breakfast.
Hope life has returned to normal for you and yours. Lord knows you suffered much this last year.
Rose says
Comfort food at its best! You can't beat a great breakfast recipe.

If I wake up homesick, a bacon egg and cheese biscuit is where I head. Biscuits aren't eaten in Australia so I feel very American when I make this. Looks good!
Rajiv says

Oh, I love what you said about your Grandmother. How very sweet, and how true of that generation. The children and I were just remembering my Gram, and one of her most favorite suppers...a fried egg sandwich. She used to say it's the simplest ingredients that make the most divine meal. 🙂
Happy weekend!
