Ham & Cheddar Biscuits
Ingredients
- 8 tbsp unsalted COLD butter frozen & grated
- 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 2 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 7 oz Wyke Farms Vintage Reserve Cheddar Cheese shredded
- 3/4 cup diced ham
- 1 tbsp chives chopped
- 1 - 2 tbsp melted butter
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, add flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt and whisk to combine.
- Use a box grater to shred the frozen butter. Working quickly, stir the COLD shredded butter into the flour mixture with a fork until evenly distributed.
- To the bowl add the diced ham, Wyke Farms Vintage Reserve Cheddar Cheese and chives. Stir until coated with flour and evenly distributed.
- Create a well in the flour mixture and pour in the buttermilk. Use a rubber spatula to gradually mix the buttermilk into the dry ingredients, just until combined.
- Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured nonstick surface. Work the dough with your hands, mixing a couple of times just to bring everything together so that the dough is not dry and crumbly.
- Roll the biscuit dough into a circle that's approximately 3/4-inch thick. Use a 3-inch biscuit cutter to cut the dough. Combine any scraps and cut into rounds, until all of the dough has been used.
- Place the cut dough rounds so that they are touching on the prepared pan.
- Bake for 15 -16 minutes or until golden brown.
- Once you remove the biscuits from the oven, immediately brush the tops with melted butter.
- Serve & enjoy!
