- You can do so many things with breadstick dough.One of those things is to take a sausage and wrap it with breadstick dough and bake at 350° until brown (about 15 minutes). You can also take these on a camping trip. Stick the sausage on a stick, wrap with dough and cook over the campfire, turning until golden brown.
- Coffee cake isn’t just for breakfast.Serve it for dessert with ice cream or drizzle it with some caramel or chocolate syrup.
- To use leftover coffee cake,cube it to make bread pudding or in a trifle.
- If you are in a hurry, most coffee cake recipes can be made into muffins.Pour the batter into muffin cups and if it calls for streusel topping, sprinkle a little over each muffin. Bake at the same temperature as the coffee cake but only bake for about 1/4 the amount of time or until toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- To kick any coffee cake up a notch,sprinkle it with powdered sugar or brown sugar or drizzle with a glaze.

Here’s a classic homemade pancake recipe, perfect for breakfast anytime! If you’ve never made them, pancakes are easy to make. The key is not to let the pan get too hot so they don’t burn. Cook them on medium heat, but if the pan or griddle starts to get too hot, turn it down a little as you go.
Pour out the batter in small circles or if you want them about the same size, you can measure it out with a ladle or turkey baster. When the edges start to set and bubbles form over the tops, they are ready to turn over. If you’re not sure, you can carefully try to slide a spatula under one of them and if it starts to fall apart, it’s not quite time to flip.

Scrambled eggs are an easy breakfast item that’s almost foolproof and perfect to include with other Mother’s Day brunch recipes if you’re setting out a big breakfast buffet. As long as you keep an eye on them so they don’t burn, they are easy to make! The recipe calls for margarine, but any oil or grease will work. I like to use bacon grease because it adds a nice flavor boost!
I usually don’t make scrambled eggs with the milk or water, but if you’d like them to be a little extra fluffy, you might try it!

No reviews
Ingredients
Units
4 slices bacon (we used turkey bacon and veggie bacon)
3 eggs
3 Tbsp. milk
salt and pepper
1 can biscuits (10 biscuits)
1/3 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Cook the bacon until it’s almost done.
- Chop into small bits and set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 400°.
- Whisk together eggs, milk and a pinch of salt and pepper (to taste).
- Roll out each biscuit until it’s slightly bigger than the circumference of your muffin tin.
- Grease the muffin tin.
- Push one biscuit into each muffin cup, making sure to push it all the way down and to the sides. Leave the ridge hanging over the edge.
- Divide the cheese evenly in each of the biscuit cups.
- Then pour in egg, filling each cup only halfway. They will look empty, but resist the urge to top them off because they will puff up when baked.
- Sprinkle bacon over the top of the egg.
- Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until golden and eggs are set.
- Use a butter knife to loosen each muffin. Serve warm.
Notes
If your egg does overflow, just let it bake the rest of the way. Then remove the extra egg when you are loosening the muffins.
