Ham and Cheese Biscuits
Delicious Ham and Cheese Biscuits that are so easy to make from scratch using diced ham and shredded cheddar. These tender drop biscuits are a great way to use up leftover ham and are ready in under 30 minutes.
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup butter melted and cooled slightly. You can use unsalted or salted. If using salted, you may want to reduce the salt in the recipe.
- 1 cup milk or buttermilk, cold
- 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
- 2/3 cup ham finely diced
- 2 tablespoons chives finely chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
- Stir the melted butter with the milk. Let it sit for a minute or two and then mix it into the the dry ingredients.
- Fold in the cheddar cheese, diced ham, and chives just until they are well mixed in.
- Use a large cookie scoop or an ice cream scoop to scoop out batter onto the lined baking sheet, ensuring there is about an inch of space between the biscuits. You should end up with about 12 biscuits. [Alternatively, you can use two large spoons to drop the biscuit dough into mounds on the baking sheet.]
- Bake for 15 minutes or until the tops begin to turn golden. Allow them to cool slightly before serving. Optional: brush with some melted butter before serving.
