Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter (cold, cut into small cubes)
- 0.75 cups whole milk
- 1 cup fresh spinach
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (finely chopped)
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill (finely chopped)
- 4 pieces ham slices (thick-cut)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons honey mustard
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 flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
In a blender, combine the spinach and milk. Blend until the mixture is smooth and fully green.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Pour the spinach-milk mixture into the dry ingredients along with the parsley and dill. Stir gently with a spatula until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead it 2-3 times to bring it together. Pat it into a 1-inch-thick rectangle.
Use a round biscuit cutter (or a glass) to cut out biscuits. Re-roll any scraps and cut again until all the dough is used. Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden on the bottom and puffed.
While the biscuits bake, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the ham slices and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until slightly caramelized and heated through.
To serve, slice the warm biscuits in half, spread a little honey mustard on each side, and sandwich a slice of ham between the halves. Enjoy your whimsical Green Elf Biscuits and Ham!
