CAST-IRON LOADED BREAKFAST BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°. In a 10-in. cast-iron or other ovenproof skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp, stirring occasionally. Remove with a slotted spoon; drain on paper towels. Cook and stir mushrooms, onion and garlic in bacon drippings until tender, 4-5 minutes. Remove from pan. In a small bowl, whisk eggs until blended. Pour eggs into same pan; cook and stir over medium heat until eggs are thickened and no liquid egg remains. Remove from pan. In a large bowl, whisk flour, baking powder and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add buttermilk; stir just until moistened. Gently stir in mushroom mixture, eggs, bacon and cheese. Drop dough by 1/2 cupfuls 1 in. apart into same skillet. Bake until bottoms are golden brown, 20-25 minutes.

MAMA'S STARTED IN TEXAS BUTTERMILK BISCUITS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450°.
• Mix the dry ingredients in medium size bowl. Cut in the shortning until it looks like little peas.
• Stir in the buttermilk and plop it onto a floured surface. Work in just enough flour to pat the dough into a circle about 1/2 inch thick.
• Take a drinking glass about 3-inches across and cut out your biscuits. Leftover dough is easy to roll back out to sqeeze out a couple more!
• Place on cookie sheet about 1-inch apart and bake for 10-12 minutes until the crust is just brown (Don't overcook!).
• *Note: If a baking recipe calls for butermilk I always use real buttermilk- it certainly does affect the texture. In a pich, use buttermilk powder or even milk.
• Serve warm- we don't even bother with butter but it is your choice. Makes great leftovers if heated in the microwave for 10-15 seconds and topped with jam.
