BISCUITS
2 cup(s) all purpose flour
3 1/2 teaspoon(s) baking powder
2 teaspoon(s) sugar
1 teaspoon(s) salt
1/2 cup(s) shortening
1 - egg
3/4 cup(s) milk
FILLING
2 1/2 cup(s) ground fully cooked ham
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 - egg
2 tablespoon(s) prepared mustard
2 tablespoon(s) minced fresh parsley or 2 teaspoon dried
1 tablespoon(s) prepared horseradish
1/4 teaspoon(s) pepper
CHEESE SAUCE ( OPTIONAL)
3 tablespoon(s) butter
3 tablespoon(s) flour
1/2 teaspoon(s) salt
1/4 teaspoon(s) white pepper
2 cup(s) milk
1 cup(s) shredded cheddar cheese

Steps:

In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. ( I used my food processor). Combine egg and milk; stir into crumb mixture just until moistened. Turn onto floured surface; knead 12 times. Roll into a 12 in, x 10 rectangle.
Combine the filling ingredients; spread over dough to within 1/2 in. of edges. Roll up jelly - roll style, starting with a long side; pinch seam to seal. Cut into 1 in. slices.
Place cut side down on a greased baking sheet. Bake at 425 degree for 15 - 18 minutes or until golden brown.
Cheese Sauce ( optional) I didn't use. In a pan, melt butter. Stir in flour, salt and white pepper until smooth. Gradually add milk. Bring to boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from heat; stir in cheese until melted. Serve with ham slices.
