Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (cold and cubed)
- 0.75 cups buttermilk
- 0.5 pounds country ham (thinly sliced)
- 2 tablespoons honey (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the cold, cubed butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually pour in the buttermilk, stirring gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Lightly flour a clean surface and turn the dough out onto it. Gently knead the dough 3-4 times, then pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle.
Using a 2.5-inch biscuit cutter (or the rim of a glass), cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gently re-pat and cut any remaining dough as needed.
Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
While the biscuits bake, warm the slices of country ham in a skillet over medium heat for 1-2 minutes per side until they're heated through but not overcooked.
Once the biscuits are out of the oven, allow them to cool slightly. Then, slice each biscuit in half and layer with a piece of warm country ham.
Serve warm, optionally drizzled with a touch of honey for a sweet and savory twist.
