Ham Cheese Butter Biscuits (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Biscuit Base
01 -
2½ cups all-purpose flour
02 -
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
03 -
1½ tablespoons baking powder
04 -
1¾ cups buttermilk (plus extra if needed)
→ Savory Add-ins
05 -
2½ cups diced ham, cut into ½-inch cubes
06 -
1½ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
→ Butter & Finishing
07 -
½ cup salted butter, melted
08 -
Non-stick cooking spray or extra butter for greasing
# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 450°F and generously grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
02 -
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and baking powder until well combined.
03 -
Pour in the buttermilk and stir gently with a wooden spoon until a thick, sticky batter forms. If the dough seems too dry, add a bit more buttermilk.
04 -
Gently fold the diced ham and shredded cheddar cheese into the batter, making sure they're evenly distributed throughout.
05 -
Pour the melted butter into your prepared baking dish, making sure it coats the entire bottom. This creates a golden, crispy bottom crust.
06 -
Carefully spread the biscuit dough evenly in the buttered pan, pressing it gently into the corners.
07 -
Using a sharp knife, score the dough into 9 equal squares. This makes it easier to separate the biscuits after baking.
08 -
Bake for 25-30 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through. If the top browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil.
09 -
Let the biscuits cool in the pan for 5 minutes before cutting and serving. Enjoy them warm with extra butter or a drizzle of honey.
# Notes:
01 -
Don't overmix the batter - a few lumps are perfectly fine and will keep the biscuits tender
02 -
The melted butter in the pan creates a deliciously crispy bottom crust
03 -
These are best served warm but can be reheated in the oven the next day
04 -
Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a side dish with soup or salad
