Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (plus extra for dusting)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cold and diced
  • 3/4 cup cold buttermilk (plus 1 tablespoon for brushing)
  • 6 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons milk or cream
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon butter or oil (for cooking eggs)
  • 6 slices cheddar cheese
  • 6 slices cooked bacon

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.

  2. 2

    Add the cold, diced butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs. (Small pea-sized pieces are fine.)

  3. 3

    Pour in the cold buttermilk and gently mix with a fork or spatula until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.

  4. 4

    Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times. Pat it into a rectangle about 1 inch thick. Fold the dough in thirds like a letter and pat it out again to 1-inch thickness. Repeat this folding process 2-3 times for extra flaky layers.

  5. 5

    Use a 2- to 3-inch biscuit cutter (or a glass) to cut out biscuits. Press straight down without twisting. Gather scraps, reform, and cut again as needed.

  6. 6

    Place biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, touching slightly for soft sides. Brush tops with a bit of buttermilk. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the tops are golden brown. Cool slightly on a wire rack.

  7. 7

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Heat butter or oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and gently scramble, stirring occasionally, until just set.

  8. 8

    Slice the warm biscuits in half. Place a slice of cheese on the bottom half of each biscuit. Top with scrambled eggs and bacon. Add the biscuit tops and press gently. Serve immediately.
