Biscuit Dough

Grilled Smoked Local Ham

Blackberry Compote

Apple Butter

Method

Biscuit Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

  3. 3

    Cut in Butter

    Cut the unsalted butter into small pieces and add it to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  4. 4

    Add Milk

    Pour in the milk and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.

  5. 5

    Shape Biscuits

    Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times. Pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle and cut out biscuits using a biscuit cutter or a glass.

  6. 6

    Bake

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

Grilled Ham Preparation

  1. 7

    Prepare the Grill

    Preheat your grill over medium-high heat.

  2. 8

    Grill the Ham

    Place the smoked local ham on the grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until heated through and slightly charred.

Blackberry Compote Preparation

  1. 9

    Cook the Compote

    In a medium saucepan, combine the fresh blackberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring gently until the blackberries break down and the mixture thickens, about 10-15 minutes.

  2. 10

    Cool the Compote

    Remove from heat and let it cool slightly before using.

Assembly

  1. 11

    Assemble the Biscuit Board

    Cut the biscuits in half and layer the grilled smoked ham on the bottom half. Top with a generous spoonful of blackberry compote and a dollop of apple butter. Place the top half of the biscuit on and serve immediately.
