HAM TEA BISCUITS WITH BLACKBERRY MUSTARD OR LEMON HERB BUTTER

Ham Tea Biscuits With Blackberry Mustard or Lemon Herb Butter image

My MIL hosted a Mother's Day tea for the ladies at the church she attends and served these delicious little biscuits. They can be topped with either the Blackberry Mustard, my personal favorite, or Lemon-Herb Butter. For the biscuits, she used Mary B's and you can also use thin slices of deli ham if you would like. The amount of ham I have listed is an estimate. The amount needed will depend on how much ham you want to fill the biscuits with. Recipe is from Southern Living.
