Method

For the Biscuits

Prepare the Dough

Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C). In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in buttermilk until just combined.

Shape and Bake

Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead gently. Roll out to 1-inch thickness and cut into rounds. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.

For the Red Eye Gravy

Cook the Ham

In a skillet over medium heat, add the country ham slices and cook until browned on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the ham and set aside.

Make the Gravy

In the same skillet, pour in the coffee and water, scraping the bottom of the pan to deglaze. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened. Return the ham to the skillet to warm through.

For the Eggs

Cook the Eggs

In a separate skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook to your desired doneness, seasoning with salt and pepper.
