Description
A delicious recipe for Ham and Cheese Butter Biscuits, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 310 grams all-purpose flour
- 13 grams granulated sugar
- 13 grams aluminum-free baking powder
- 415 milliliters buttermilk, plus more as needed
- 250 grams small diced ham
- 170 grams shredded cheddar cheese
- 115 grams salted butter
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 230°C. Coat a 23×23-centimeter oven-safe glass or ceramic baking dish with nonstick cooking spray containing flour.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and baking powder until evenly blended.
- Pour buttermilk into the dry mixture and stir until a thick, sticky batter forms. If the mixture appears dry, incorporate additional buttermilk in small increments.
- Gently fold diced ham and shredded cheddar cheese into the batter until well distributed.
- Melt salted butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Pour the melted butter into the prepared baking dish, coating the bottom evenly.
- Spread the dough evenly over the melted butter in the baking dish, using hands sprayed with nonstick spray for ease.
- Using a knife, cut the dough into 9 squares to assist with portioning after baking.
- Place the dish on the middle oven rack and bake for 25–30 minutes, rotating halfway through for even browning. Shield with foil if top browns too quickly.
- Biscuits are ready when golden on top and spring back when gently pressed. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean. Cut along scored lines and serve warm.
Notes
- Ensure the butter is well melted for even distribution in the baking dish.
- For a lighter texture, do not overmix the batter after adding the buttermilk.
- These biscuits can be served as a snack or a side dish with meals.
