Biscuit Ingredients

Method

Biscuit Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Biscuit Dough

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt together. Add the cold, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to combine until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  2. 2

    Add Wet Ingredients

    Stir in the milk until just combined. Do not overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky.

  3. 3

    Incorporate Ham and Cheese

    Gently fold in the diced ham and shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.

  4. 4

    Shape the Biscuits

    Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Cut out biscuits using a floured biscuit cutter or a glass.

  5. 5

    Bake the Biscuits

    Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown on top.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving warm.
