Description
Deliciously easy biscuits made with ham and cheese that swim in butter for a rich flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 1 cup shredded cheese (such as cheddar or Swiss)
- 1 cup diced ham
- ¼ cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 cup milk
- ¼ cup unsalted butter (for pouring into baking dish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) to ensure it reaches the correct temperature for baking the biscuits evenly.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder if using, to evenly distribute the leavening and seasoning.
- Stir in the shredded cheese and diced ham thoroughly until they are evenly combined within the dry mixture.
- In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter and milk. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined, leaving some lumps to avoid overmixing which can toughen the biscuits.
- Pour about ¼ cup of melted butter into a 9×13-inch baking dish, spreading it evenly so the biscuits will ‘swim’ in the butter while baking.
- Spoon the biscuit batter carefully into the baking dish over the melted butter; the batter will float on top of the butter.
- Place the baking dish into the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes until the biscuits turn golden brown and are baked through.
- Remove the dish from the oven and let the biscuits cool for a few minutes, allowing them to set slightly and making them easier to cut.
- Cut the biscuits into squares and serve warm as a flavorful snack or side dish to complement your meal.
Notes
- Feel free to add other ingredients like herbs or spices for additional flavor.
- These biscuits are best served warm and can be paired with soups or salads.
