Method

Biscuit Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.

  3. 3

    Cut in Butter

    Add the unsalted butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  4. 4

    Add Buttermilk

    Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the buttermilk. Stir gently until just combined; do not overmix.

  5. 5

    Shape the Biscuits

    Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it holds together. Pat it into a 1-inch thick circle. Use a biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits.

  6. 6

    Bake

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

Filling Preparation

  1. 7

    Cook the Ham

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ham for about 3-4 minutes, until heated through.

  2. 8

    Fry the Egg

    In the same skillet, add a teaspoon of butter and crack in the farm fresh egg. Cook until the white is set and the yolk is cooked to your liking. Season with black pepper.

  3. 9

    Assemble the Biscuit

    Once the biscuits are baked, slice one in half. Layer the ham, fried egg, and cheddar cheese on the bottom half of the biscuit. Place the top half back on.
