Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 3/4 cup cold buttermilk
- 8 slices cooked ham (about 8 ounces)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (for brushing)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and baking soda.
- Cut in cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Make a well in the center and pour in buttermilk. Stir until just combined; do not overmix.
- Turn dough onto a floured surface and gently knead 4-5 times until it holds together.
- Pat dough into a 1/2-inch thick rectangle. Cut into 8 squares or use a 2-inch biscuit cutter.
- Place biscuits on prepared baking sheet, spacing 2 inches apart. Brush tops with melted butter.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown. Let cool slightly.
- Split biscuits in half and place a slice of ham inside each. Serve warm.
Tips
- For extra flaky biscuits, freeze the butter for 10 minutes before cutting in.
- Leftover biscuits can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days; reheat in a 350°F oven for 5 minutes.
- Add a slice of cheese or a drizzle of honey for variation.
