Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter
- 0.75 cups whole milk
- 8 slices thinly sliced ham
- 2 tablespoons honey or 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 all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until evenly combined.
Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually pour in the whole milk, gently stirring with a fork until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it 2–3 times. Pat the dough into a 1-inch-thick rectangle.
Using a round biscuit cutter (or the rim of a glass), cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gather any leftover dough, re-roll, and cut out more biscuits.
Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until golden brown.
Allow the biscuits to cool for 5 minutes before carefully slicing them in half horizontally.
Spread a thin layer of honey or mustard on each biscuit half, if desired. Then layer a slice of ham on the bottom half of each biscuit.
Place the top halves of the biscuits back on and serve warm. Enjoy!
