Instructions

1. 1 Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (220 degrees C).
2. 2 In a large bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder and salt. Cut in shortening with a pastry blender or by rubbing between your fingers until the lumps are smaller than peas. Pour in the milk all at once, and stir with a large spoon until dough is evenly moist. It should be sticky.
3. 3 Flour your hands, and knead the dough lightly for 3 or 4 turns, adding just enough flour so that it doesn't stick to your hands. Let the dough rest for a minute or two.
4. 4 With well-floured hands, pinch off pieces of dough (about 12) and pat lightly into balls. Don't over work the dough. Place about 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets. With floured knuckles, press each ball down to about 1/2 inch thickness.
5. 5 Bake for 11 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven, until browned on the bottom. Serve hot with butter.

2. 2 Mix yeast mixture, milk, sugar, salt, eggs, shortening, and 2 cups of the flour together in a large bowl for a few minutes with an electric mixer at low speed, or stir with a wooden spoon. Beat in remaining flour, ½ cup at a time, until the dough no longer sticks to the bowl. Knead for about 5 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. Place the dough into a greased bowl, and cover. Set in a warm place to rise until double. Dough is ready if you touch it, and the indention remains.
3. 3 Turn the dough out onto a floured surface, and gently roll out to ½-inch thickness. Cut with a floured doughnut cutter. Let doughnuts sit out to rise again until double. Cover loosely with a cloth.
4. 4 Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in confectioners' sugar and vanilla until smooth. Remove from heat, and stir in hot water one tablespoon at a time until the icing is somewhat thin, but not watery. Set aside.

• all-purpose flour
• baking powder
• salt
• baking soda
• buttermilk
• buttermilk
• bacon
• egg
• water
• butter
• cheddar cheese
• salt
• black pepper

Instructions

1. 1 Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. 2 Whisk flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda together in a large bowl. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs, 3 to 4 minutes. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture, pour in 1 cup buttermilk, and stir just until combined.
3. 3 Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Pat and roll into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick. Use a 3-inch biscuit cutter to cut out 6 biscuits. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and brush the top of each biscuit with remaining buttermilk.
4. 4 Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer biscuits to a wire rack to cool.
5. 5 Meanwhile, place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels.
6. 6 Combine eggs and water in a bowl and whisk vigorously until smooth; set aside. Melt butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Swirl skillet to coat with butter; heat until just barely bubbling. Pour eggs into the center of the skillet, so butter gets pushed out to the sides.
7. 7 Cook until edges of the eggs barely start to set. Gently scramble all the way around the pan using a spatula, creating large, soft curds. Sprinkle cheese onto the eggs at this point. Continue cooking, pausing in between to allow time for the cheese to melt and eggs to firm, gently pushing and folding the eggs to form large curds, about 3 minutes total. Do not allow the eggs to cook completely or eggs will turn chewy and rubbery. Remove from heat.
8. 8 Slice biscuits in half and top bottom halves with scrambled eggs. Season with salt and pepper. Add 2 bacon pieces per biscuit, and finish with the biscuit tops. Serve immediately.

Instructions

1. 1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
2. 2 Cream together shortening and sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Stir in eggs one at a time, beating well with each addition, then stir in banana and vanilla.
3. 3 Sift together flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl. Beat into creamed mixture. Stir in oats and nuts. Pour into prepared pan.
4. 4 Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean, 50 to 55 minutes.
