Time 1h15m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

1 (12 ounce) package bacon
1 (10 ounce) can refrigerated large flaky layer biscuits
6 eggs, beaten
2 tablespoons milk
6 tablespoons shredded Cheddar cheese
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels. When cooled, chop the bacon.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Separate biscuits and pull each biscuit into halves. Press 2 biscuit halves into a muffin cup, molding the dough to the inside to make a dough cup. Repeat with remaining dough to make 12 biscuit cups.
Whisk eggs and milk together in a bowl until thoroughly combined. Spoon each biscuit cup about half full of egg mixture and top with about 1 tablespoon bacon and about 1 1/2 teaspoon Cheddar cheese per biscuit.
Bake in the preheated oven until the biscuit crust is browned, the cheese is melted and bubbling, and the egg center is set, about 20 minutes.

MAMA'S ' BESTEST' BISCUITS

Mama's ' Bestest' Biscuits image

My kids named 'em this 'cuz they is so good! LOL Great with soups, stews, jams, jellies or just by themselves. Who ever said homemade was hard just didn't know Mama! Extra note: Edited 3/07 to answer questions and help you make these come out perfectly. You can even add garlic powder and cheese to make those 'famous restaurant type' biscuits, BUT BETTER. Edited 8/08 to add yes these are basic biscuits. To add additional flavor try adding in herbs and seasonings as stated in the previous edit above. Onion powder, garlic powder, fresh cracked black pepper, herbs like oregano or rosemary. You could even brush the top with melted butter when done baking or add some Butter Buds or Molly McButter if you like. This also doubles very easily. and again 11-08 This dough is very wet and sticky. Make sure your hands are well floured and gently press into shape to knead- do not knead vigorously, you will have a mess. Gently pat and use a kneading motion to gently fold the dough into itself and form into a square shape.

Time 20m

Yield 9-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

Ingredients

2 cups self rising flour, you can make your own- see note
2 tablespoons mayonnaise, NOT Miracle Whip
1 cup milk, any kind
1 cup flour, to add in and flour hands- use more if you feel you need it

Steps:

Mix flour, milk and mayo together, reserving the second measure of flour for the board.
Add the second measure of flour to the board and coat your hands. Turn out the dough onto the floured board or counter top. Sprinkle some extra flour on top of the dough. Just enough to make the dough easier for you to work with and not so sticky. You want to get it just to the not too sticky point but not add so much flour that they become dense. It is hard to say how much as this varies with the climate and humidity.
Knead lightly just until the dough is smooth-about 6 times. The less you handle it, the better the biscuits!
Pat into a square shape and make long cuts with a very sharp knife from top to bottom and then side to side--like a tic tac toe board and you will havce 9 biscuits. Add one extra line to make 12 squares. I usually cut to make 12, but make them as large or small as you like.
Place on lightly greased or sprayed cookie sheet just a tiny bit apart- about 1/2 inch- and bake at 450°F for 15 to 20 minutes or until browned on top.
Brush the tops of biscuits with butter or spray with butter spray and serve immediately.
Note: Don't have any self-rising flour? Add 1 tsp salt and 1 T baking powder to the flour.

MOM'S BAKING POWDER BISCUITS

Mom's Baking Powder Biscuits image

This is the recipe my mom always made. I like to use the butter flavored shortening, but you can use regular. Amount of biscuits you get depends on how big around you make them and the thickness. My daughter likes me to make smaller ones.
