For my honey...

Another year.... another Valentine's day.

This one not much different from last year's :-) accept maybe that my sweetheart is a little sick. I made him this special breakfast of homemade buttermilk biscuits and scrambled eggs.

The biscuits were very easy to make, incredibly flaky and wayyyy better than anything that comes out of a can! If you don't like eggs try the biscuits with butter and some fruit preserves.

(prep time 40 mins)

(enough for 2)

Buttermilk Biscuits

Flour 1/3 cup

Honey 1/2 Tbs

Salt 1/4 tsp

Baking powder 1/4 tsp

Baking soda 1/4 tsp

Buttermilk 1/3 cup

Shortening or Butter 3 Tbs (very very cold and chopped up in tiny pieces)

Pre-heat oven to 450 degrees.

Combine the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl.

Stir in the honey and the shortening/butter.

Work with a fork and mix until the flour resembles coarse crumbs.

Pour in the buttermilk and combine well with a fork.

Take this mixture out on a floured surface and knead gently. Don't overdo this step.

Use your fingers and spread out the dough into a 1" thick circle.

I used a heart shape cutter and made 2 biscuits.

Lightly brush a little butter over the biscuits.

Bake for 5 mins. Turn the heat down to 400 degrees and continue to bake for another 13-15 mins.

Scrambled Eggs

While the biscuits are baking you can make the eggs anyway you want. I made mine the following way.

Eggs 3 large

Chopped red peppers 2 Tbs

Chopped shallots 1 Tbs

Peas 3 Tbs

Jarlsberg Cheese 4 Tbs (shredded)

Coarse Pepper 1/2 tsp

Salt

A little butter for cooking

Heat the butter in a frying pan.

Whip the eggs, the veggies, salt and pepper together in a bowl.

Pour the egg mixture into the pan and cook until eggs are set.

Sprinkle the cheese over the eggs and allow to melt.

Done :-)

I spilt the biscuits in half spread a little butter and placed the eggs in between the 2 halves.
