Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess grease.

  2. 2

    Scramble the Eggs

    In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Pour into the skillet and scramble until they are cooked through. Remove from heat.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Hotcakes

    In a bowl, combine hotcake mix and water. Stir until just combined. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and pour batter to form hotcakes. Cook until bubbles form and edges look dry, then flip and cook until golden brown on both sides.

  4. 4

    Cook the Hash Browns

    In the same skillet, add a little oil if needed and cook the hash browns according to package instructions until crispy and golden.

  5. 5

    Warm the Biscuit

    Warm the biscuit in the microwave or oven until heated through. Spread butter on top if desired.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Plate

    On a large plate, arrange the scrambled eggs, hotcakes with syrup, crispy bacon, hash browns, and the warm biscuit. Serve immediately.
