HAM AND CHEESE BUTTERMILK BISCUITS



Ham and Cheese Buttermilk Biscuits image

They are wonderfully tender, flavorful buttermilk biscuits, and so deliciously easy to whip up! They are also incredibly versatile. You can use pretty much any type of cheese you'd like in these - since the cheese offers the main flavor, if you have a bunch of something else besides pepper Jack you'd like to use up, feel free to change it up however you'd like.

Time 30m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
⅓ cup cold butter
⅔ cup shredded pepper Jack cheese
⅔ cup finely diced ham
1 cup buttermilk, or more as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Combine flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda, and garlic powder in a bowl. Whisk to combine.
  • Dice the cold butter up into chunks, and cut it into the dry mixture with your fingers, a fork, or a pastry cutter, until the mixture resembles coarse sand, and butter is well blended in. Stir in cheese and ham, gently stirring to evenly coat all the cheese and ham pieces with the flour mixture.
  • Use a fork and stir in 1 cup buttermilk. If the mixture is still dry, add a little more liquid at a time until the dough just comes together (it should be a little bit sticky, but not "wet").
  • Shape dough into a ball by hand, handling the dough gently. Then pat the dough out on a lightly floured surface to 1/2- to 3/4-inch thickness. Use a small biscuit cutter to cut 12 to 15 biscuits out, and arrange them on a baking sheet with sides just barely touching.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until just golden brown around the edges/tops/bottoms and cooked through in the center, 12 to 15 minutes.
  • Cool briefly on the baking sheet before moving to a platter or cooling rack. Best served warm!

Categories     Breads

Time 29m

Yield 18 biscuits, 18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter, chilled
4 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (about 1 cup)
3/4 cup buttermilk (I use powdered buttermilk and water, which can be found in the baking aisle at the grocery store)
2 tablespoons buttermilk

Steps:

  • At least 30 minutes or up to 2 1/2 hours before serving: in a medium bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
  • With a pastry blender or two knives, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Stir in cheese and buttermilk just until dry ingredients are moistened.
  • Place on a lightly floured surface.
  • Gently knead ten to twelve times.
  • Roll or pat to 1/2-inch thickness.
  • Cut with a 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter dipped in flour.
  • Place biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet.
  • If making ahead, cover and refrigerate up to 2 hours.
  • About 25 minutes before serving: Preheat oven to 425-degrees for 10 minutes.
  • Bake biscuits for 12-14 minutes or until golden brown.

Tips:

  • Use cold butter. This will help the biscuits be flaky and light. You can freeze the butter for 30 minutes before grating it, or you can use a pastry blender to cut it into the flour.
  • Don't overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make the biscuits tough. Mix the ingredients just until they come together.
  • Let the dough rest. Letting the dough rest for at least 30 minutes will help it develop flavor and become easier to work with.
  • Bake the biscuits in a hot oven. This will help them rise quickly and evenly.
  • Serve the biscuits warm. Buttermilk biscuits are best served warm out of the oven, but they can also be reheated in a warm oven or microwave.

Conclusion:

Buttermilk biscuits are a delicious and versatile Southern staple. They can be served as a side dish, an appetizer, or even a dessert. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make buttermilk biscuits that are sure to impress your family and friends.
