Homemade Biscuits & Country Gravy with Eggs, Canadian Bacon & Fruit

Ingredients — 10 servings

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/3 cup Crisco
• 3/4 cup milk
• 10 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 10 ounces fully cooked Canadian bacon
• 2 1/2 cups prepared McCormick Original Country Gravy (packets and water according to package directions)
• 5 cups prepared fresh fruit

Instructions

1. Heat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
2. Stir flour, baking powder and salt together. Cut in Crisco until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Add milk and stir just until a soft dough forms. Gently pat onto a floured surface, about 3/4 inch thick. Cut into 10 small biscuits, gathering scraps gently.
4. Bake 12–15 minutes, until lightly golden and cooked through.
5. Prepare gravy according to the packet directions. Measure 1/4 cup finished gravy per serving.
6. Beat eggs. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-low heat; add eggs and gently stir until fully cooked but still soft.
7. Heat Canadian bacon according to its package directions.
8. Serve each portion with one small biscuit, gravy, one scrambled egg, 1 ounce Canadian bacon and 1/2 cup fruit. Cut food appropriately for each classroom.

Nutrition note

Planning estimate for one preschool serving. Gravy packet, Jones and Hitchcock Hatfield label inputs verified online. Full-meal nutrition remains pending the remaining ingredient labels, chosen fruit mix and measured biscuit/serving yield. Packet gravy contains milk, wheat and soy; replacing its liquid does not make it dairy-free. Use only separately approved allergy alternatives.
