Ingredients
- 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1 tbsp Baking Powder
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.5 cup Cold Butter
- 1 cup Chopped Ham
- 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
- 0.75 cup Whole Milk
Instructions
- Pre-heat your oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Cut the cold butter into small pieces and work it into the flour mixture with a pastry cutter until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the chopped ham and shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.
- Gradually pour in the milk and stir until a soft dough forms; do not over-mix.
- Turn the dough onto a flat surface, pat it to 1-inch thickness, and cut out rounds using a biscuit cutter.
- Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
- Allow to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving warm.
Notes

- Tip 2: Do not over-mix the dough or it gets tough.
- Tip 3: Grate your own cheese for a better melt.
- Tip 4: Use a sharp knife to cut the ham small.
- Tip 5: Brush the tops with melted butter for shine.
- Tip 6: Keep the milk cold until you need it.
