Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 0.25 cup Buttermilk
- 4 ounces Spam (original or low-sodium), diced
- 1 teaspoon Neutral cooking oil or butter (for pan)
- Optional: Honey or hot sauce (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a small baking tray with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, gently work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the buttermilk. Using a fork, gently mix until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch-thick rectangle.
Using a biscuit cutter or a round glass, cut out 2-3 biscuits. If necessary, gently gather the leftover dough and reshape it to cut additional biscuits.
Place the biscuits on the prepared baking tray, leaving them slightly touching for softer edges or spaced apart for crispier edges. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
While the biscuits are baking, heat a skillet over medium heat and add 1 teaspoon of oil or butter.
Once hot, add the diced Spam to the skillet and cook, stirring often, until crispy and browned on all sides (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from heat.
When the biscuits are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack.
To serve, split the warm biscuits in half and top them with crispy Spam. Drizzle with honey or hot sauce if desired.
