Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cut into small cubes)
- 0.75 cup Buttermilk (cold)
- 8 ounces Thinly sliced ham
- 2 tablespoons Honey mustard
- 2 tablespoons Butter (melted, for brushing)
- 1 tablespoon Optional: Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
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.
Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually pour the cold buttermilk into the mixture, stirring gently with a fork until a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently 4-5 times to bring it together. Pat the dough into a rectangle about 1-inch thick.
Use a round biscuit cutter (about 2.5 inches in diameter) to cut out biscuits. Re-roll the scraps as needed to make more biscuits.
Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between them. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
While the biscuits are baking, prepare the filling. Warm the honey mustard in a small bowl and set aside.
Once the biscuits are baked, cool them slightly. Then, slice each biscuit in half horizontally.
Spread a thin layer of honey mustard on the inside of each biscuit, then layer with slices of ham.
Close the biscuits and brush the tops with melted butter. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
Serve the ham biscuits warm and enjoy!
