Our traditional role in Christmas morning is breakfast. I make a big breakfast and my parents, Jeff's parents, my sister and her significant other and anyone else who wants to, comes over to see what Santa brought the kids.
Most of what I make can be done the day before and refrigerated till morning when they are popped in the oven before everyone gets here. My mom has made these biscuits for years. These yeasty biscuits are even better if they sit in the fridge for a day or 2 before baking, just make sure to cover them well.
Angel Biscuits
2 1/2 c self rising flour
2 T sugar
1/2 c shortening or butter
1 T warm water
1 packet yeast
1 c buttermilk
Mix dry ingredients, cut shortening into dry ingredients until the mixture resembles cornmeal. Dissolve yeast in warm water, stir into buttermilk. Mix liquid into dry ingredients to make a stiff dough. Roll to 1/2 inch thickness on a floured board and cut into 2 inch biscuits.
While mixing biscuits melt 1/2 stick butter in your pan, add biscuits to hot butter, bake at 400 for 10 minutes or until golden brown.
Another favorite of ours is Facelift Casserole. I have no idea where the name came from, this is another dish my mom has made for as long as I can remember.
Facelift Casserole
1 dozen eggs, scrambled
1 pound of breakfast sausage, browned, crumbled and drained
1 8 oz package of shredded cheese
2 slices of white bread, cubed
1 t dry mustard
dash pepper
Mix all ingredients well, pour into casserole dish and refrigerate overnight. Bake at 350 until set and beginning to brown. Yum!
Merry Christmas everyone!
