Time 50m

Yield 12 biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting (see Cook's Note)
2 tablespoons baking powder
1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 stick (8 tablespoons) cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
1 cup shredded mild Cheddar
1 cup buttermilk, plus more for brushing
2 thin slices black forest ham, roughly chopped (about 2 ounces)

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.

Time 50m

Yield 8 biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups self-rising flour
1/3 cup shredded Cheddar-jack cheese blend
3 slices thin deli ham, chopped
3 tablespoons salted butter, slightly frozen
1 cup buttermilk
All-purpose flour, for dusting
Nonstick cooking spray, for the baking sheet, optional
1 stick (8 tablespoons) salted butter, softened
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon whole-grain Dijon mustard
Blackberry or raspberry preserves, for serving

Steps:

For the biscuits: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Place the self-rising flour in a large bowl and toss with the cheese and ham. Grate the butter into the flour mixture. Pour in the buttermilk and mix gently with a wooden spoon. Once the dough comes together, turn it out onto a floured surface, divide it into 8 equal balls and pat them down lightly.
Put the balls in a cast-iron pan or on a baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray. Bake until brown, 20 to 25 minutes.
For the butter: In a bowl, mix together the butter, honey and mustard.
When the biscuits are done, brush some of the butter over the tops. Serve the biscuits with the remaining butter and the preserves.
