Eggs Benedict with Egg Whites and Fresh "Buttermilk" Biscuits

I don't usually keep buttermilk on hand so I made these amazing biscuits with regular milk and lemon; Topped with this five minute hollandaise sauce it's a fantastic breakfast!

Biscuits:
1 C milk
3 Tbs lemon juice
2 C flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp raw sugar
1 tsp salt
1/2 C vegetable shortening

Combine fresh lemon juice with milk and let sit for 10 min or until slightly thick. Mix dry ingredients in a seperate bowl and cut in shortening. Add milk mixture until dough is formed. Roll out to about 1/2" thickness and use biscuit/cookie cutter to cut biscuits. Place on greased cookie sheet and bake at 400 degrees for about 20 min (until biscuits are golden.)

Five Minute Hollandaise Sauce:
4 eggs
1 stick butter
3 Tbs lemon juice
1/2 tsp parsley
1/2 tsp basil
2 cloves garlic
1 tsp salt

Melt butter in sauce pan. Seperate egg yolks and set aside whites. Put yolks and all other ingredients (aside from whites) in blender and blend until smooth. Slowly add in butter while blending. Scramble egg whites. Slice biscuits, top with scrambled whites and hollandaise sauce. Enjoy!
