01
Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 425°F and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a big bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. Then, cut in the shortening with your fingers or a pastry cutter until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Make a little well in the center, pour in 1 cup of buttermilk, and stir just until everything comes together.

Step 2
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat or roll it into a rectangle about half an inch thick. Use a 3-inch biscuit cutter to cut out six biscuits, then place them on your baking sheet. Brush the tops with the remaining buttermilk to help them brown nicely.

Step 3
Pop the biscuits into the oven and bake until they’re golden, around 10 to 12 minutes. Once done, move them to a wire rack to cool a bit.

Step 4
While the biscuits bake, cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat, turning it now and then until it’s evenly browned and crispy, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon on some paper towels.

Step 5
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and water until smooth. Melt butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and swirl it around so the pan is coated. Pour the eggs in the center, letting the butter move to the edges, and cook gently. Once the edges start to set, use a spatula to push the eggs around the pan, forming large, soft curds. Sprinkle the cheese over the eggs and keep cooking gently for about 3 minutes, folding the eggs occasionally until the cheese melts and the eggs are just set but still soft. Be careful not to overcook them or they’ll get rubbery.

Step 6
Slice the biscuits in half, pile the scrambled eggs on the bottom halves, season with salt and pepper, add two pieces of bacon to each, and top with the biscuit lids. Serve right away and enjoy!
