They're a great addition to any breakfast spread. 02 of 18 Buttermilk Biscuits Will Dickey Just four ingredients(and some parchment paper) are needed to make homemade buttermilk biscuits. Whether you serve them with jam or use them as the base for an egg sandwich, making them from scratch is the only way to go. 03 of 18 Homemade Cinnamon Rolls Caitlin Bensel; Food Styling: Torie Cox While homemade cinnamon rolls do take a bit more effort than opening a can, they're definitely worth the extra time. 04 of 18 Hashbrown Casserole Caitlin Bensel; Food Stylist: Torie Cox Like fried potatoes, Hashbrown Casserole is not just for supper. In fact, we think it's the ideal companion for a plate of scrambled eggs and bacon. 05 of 18 French Toast Jessica Furniss/Southern Living While you can use a variety of different breads when making French Toast, we love the nostalgia of making it with white sandwich bread just like Grandma always did. 06 of 18 Quiche Lorraine Vianney Rodriguez/Jason David Page Grandma's favorite quiche recipe has also been loved by our readers since appearing in the pages of Southern Living in the 70s. 07 of 18 Any-Berry Muffins Antonis Achilleos; Prop Styling; Kathleen Varner; Food Styling: Emily Nabors Hall Grandma always threw in whatever fresh berries she had on hand and this recipe is for doing just that. 08 of 18 Old-Fashioned Pancakes Stacy K.
