Bacon Egg & Cheese Biscuit

Hello!   My family had a busy holiday as usual, trying to do the last minute Christmas details. 

My son loves Burger King's Bacon, Egg & Cheese Biscuit sandwiches, and asked me to make him some.  

First, I made some strips of bacon, and set it aside.  Save a little bacon grease. 

Then, I made biscuits using a heart-shaped cookie cutter - the kids love it when I do that, using
this recipe from www.allrecipes.com 

The only modification I made was to add a teaspoon of the bacon grease.

Never Fail Biscuits Recipe


Ingredients

    2 cups all-purpose flour
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    4 teaspoons baking powder
    1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
    2 teaspoons white sugar
    1/2 cup butter, chilled and diced
    3/4 cup milk
    1 teaspoon of bacon grease

Directions

    Preheat oven to 450.

    In a large bowl, sift together dry ingredients. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse oatmeal. Make a well in the center of the dry mixture and pour in the milk and bacon grease. Stir until dough begins to pull together then turn out onto a lightly floured surface.
    Press dough together and then roll out until 3/4 inch thick. Cut into 2 inch round biscuits and place on an ungreased baking sheet.
    Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until golden.

While biscuits are baking, make some eggs for the sandwiches.  Basically, make a flat omelet so that you can cut a flat piece of egg to put on the biscuit.

When the biscuits are done, split them in half, place a piece of egg, a slice or two of bacon, and top with some cheddar or american cheese & enjoy!
