Biscuit Base

Method

Biscuit Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.

  3. 3

    Cut in Butter

    Add the unsalted butter to the dry mixture and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  4. 4

    Add Milk

    Slowly add the milk to the mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

  5. 5

    Form Biscuits

    Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it comes together. Pat it into a 1-inch thick circle and cut out biscuits using a round cutter.

  6. 6

    Bake

    Place the biscuits on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.

Filling Preparation

  1. 7

    Cook the Eggs

    In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Crack the eggs directly into the skillet and season with black pepper. Cook until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny, or until cooked to your liking.

  2. 8

    Prepare the Ham

    If not pre-cooked, heat the cooked ham in a separate pan until warmed through.

  3. 9

    Assemble the Biscuits

    Once the biscuits are baked, slice them in half. On the bottom half, layer warmed ham, followed by the cooked eggs, and sprinkle with cheddar cheese before placing the top half of the biscuit back on.
