Ham Morning Biscuit Recipe

Preparation and Baking

1. 1

   Make the Biscuits

   Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and garlic powder. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

2. 2

   Combine Wet Ingredients

   Stir in the buttermilk until just combined. Do not overmix. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it holds together.

3. 3

   Shape the Biscuits

   Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick round. Use a biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

4. 4

   Prepare the Egg Mixture

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, diced ham, black pepper, and fresh chives (if using).

5. 5

   Bake the Biscuits and Eggs

   Make a small well in the center of each biscuit and pour in a bit of the egg mixture. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden and the eggs are set.

6. 6

   Add Pimento Cheese

   Once baked, remove from the oven and immediately top each biscuit with a dollop of pimento cheese. Serve warm.
