Baking Bacon: Lay bacon on sheet pan and bake at 400 degrees for 12 minutes until crisp. Drain on paper towels
Sausage balls: mix biscuit mix, shredded cheddar, and uncooked sausage together, add 1/4 cup of water (a little more or less as needed) and knead together by hand until a solid dough forms. Roll into 20 1 inch balls and bake at 400 degrees on a lined baking sheet for 12 to 15 minutes.
Blueberry lemon waffles: drain and rinse thawed blueberries, toss in a small amount of dry pancake mix. Mix the remaining pancake mix with 2 1/4 cups of water, 2 tablespoons of oil, and 4 packets of true lemon powder. Stir in blueberries and cook 1/4 cup of mix on a preheated waffle iron until cooked through. Makes 18 waffles. Can be frozen. To keep warm, put waffles on the rack of a 170 to 200 degree oven until all waffles are prepared.
Lemon Cream Cheese glaze: mix 1 cup of cream cheese frosting with 2 packets of true lemon, and 2 tablespoons of water. mix and microwave for 30 seconds and then mix again until combined.
Oven toasted English muffins: separate all English muffins and toast on sheet pan simultaneously. 400 degrees for about 8 minutes should about do it
if desired, pecan twirls can be drizzled with cream cheese glaze to make them more like cinnamon rolls. I would warm up some cream cheese frosting without the lemon powder specifically for these if doing that method. also pecan twirls can be warmed in the oven for 3 minutes or so to give them a more home baked effect.
Canned fruit should be drained prior to serving but be sure to save the fruit syrup for flavoring and sweetening teas, this can also be used as an additional fun beverage for your brunch if you've got some tea already on hand.
I think that about covers it but feel free to let me know if I left anything out! thank you for watching, if you do make the mother's day brunch please let me know how it turns out, I was very proud of this one.
