Best Easy Ham And Cheese Biscuits Recipes

HAM AND CHEESE BISCUITS {TRADITIONAL AND GLUTEN FREE RECIPES}

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Stir together the dry ingredients. Grate the butter into the dry ingredients and stir lightly to combine. Use a fork or pastry blender to cut in the cold butter pieces until the mixture resembles a course meal with little pea size or smaller lumps throughout.
• Whisk the egg into the milk and then pour into the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. Stir just long enough to combine. The mixture should be somewhat dry and just a tiny bit sticky at this point. Add the ham, cheese and onions and stir or press lightly with your hands to combine.
• Sprinkle a tablespoon of flour onto a countertop, pastry mat, or tea towel (as described in the blog post). Dump the dough out onto this surface and sprinkle a half tablespoon or so of flour across the top of the dough. Lightly press the dough with your hands to flatten it until it is about 1" thickness. Add just a sprinkling more flour as needed, to make sure the dough isn't too sticky.
• Use a biscuit cutter, round cookie cutter or drinking glass to cut the biscuit shapes out of the dough. You can also shape them with your hands, if that is more your style. Place the cut biscuits on a parchment or silpat lined baking sheet. Press the remaining bits of dough into a biscuit shape with your hands.
• Bake for 16-18 minutes, until the bottom of the biscuits are lightly browned. The tops of these biscuits will not brown very much at all, although the pieces of cheese in the dough should toast nicely. Remove from the oven and transfer to a basket or cooling rack. Enjoy!

• For the biscuits: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

• Put the balls in a cast-iron pan or on a baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray. Bake until brown, 20 to 25 minutes.

LAYERED HAM AND CHEESE BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment.
• Pulse the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt in a food processor until combined. Add the butter and 1/2 cup of the Cheddar and pulse until the mixture looks like coarse meal with pea-size bits of butter remaining. Add the buttermilk and pulse a few times, until the dough just comes together.
• Turn the dough out onto a work surface that's lightly dusted with flour, then pat into a 7-by-7-inch square that's about 1 inch thick. Scatter half of the ham and 1/4 cup of the Cheddar on half of the dough, then fold the other half of dough over like a book; gently pinch the edges to seal. Pat the dough out again into a 7-by-7-inch square, scatter the remaining ham and 1/4 cup of cheese on top and fold the dough over like a book. Press once more into a 7-by-7-inch square.
• Use a sharp chef's knife to cut the dough into 12 even rectangular pieces. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops of each piece with additional buttermilk. Bake until the biscuits are puffed and well browned, 18 to 20 minutes.
