Servings: 8
Calories: 276kcal
Ingredients
- 255 grams all-purpose flour 2 cups
- 177 milliliters milk 3/4 cup
- 85 grams butter, melted 6 tablespoons
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt omit if ham is salty
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 56 grams cheddar cheese, grated 2 ounces
- 85 grams ham, diced 3 ounces
- 1 tablespoon oil optional
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
- If desired, heat the oil in a pan over medium high heat. When hot, add ham and crisp briefly. Remove to a plate lined to absorb any excess oil, and set aside. Melt butter and set that aside to cool as well.
- Combine the flour, salt, and baking powder in a mixing bowl and whisk briefly to combine. Add in milk, melted butter, cheese, and ham.
- Fold and stir gently until dough has no more dry spots of flour and the ham and cheese are dispersed evenly.
- Scoop or drop 8 biscuits onto the baking sheet and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the bottom is golden and the tops appear dry and slightly firm to the touch.
- Remove to a cool rack to cool briefly, then serve warm. Store in an airtight container once cool for up to 3 days.
Notes
*crisping the ham is completely optional, omit oil if skipping that step.
