Country Style Eggs Benedict

Ingredients: 6 refrigerator homestyle biscuits (baked according to package directions) country ham slices 9 eggs (3 for hollandaise sauce, 6 for poaching) 1 stick butter 2 T. vinegar juice from 1 lemon salt & pepper This is one of my all time favorite brunch dishes!  My mom used to make it for us on special occasions and holidays, as it is very rich, and sinfully delicious.  Although it has just a few simple ingredients, it can be a complete pain  in the a$$ to make.  I remember my mother cursing in the kitchen when her hollandaise sauce would "break".  Hollandaise sauce is a difficult thing to master, as it can separate easily.  You will know it is "breaking" if it starts to look lumpy.  The method takes practice and you will probably screw it up several times before getting it right.  I know I did!  There are many methods for making hollandaise, but this one works the best for me....
