HAM AND CHEESE BUTTERMILK BISCUITS
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.

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!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Place a 10-inch cast-iron skillet in the oven to heat.
- For the scallion-pimento cheese: Stir together the cheese, pimentos, mayonnaise and scallions in a large bowl. Set aside, or if making ahead, place in the fridge until ready to use.
- For the country ham biscuits: Mix the flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Using a pastry blender or 2 table knives, cut the cold butter cubes into the flour until it resembles coarse meal. Use a fork to stir in the buttermilk to make a soft dough that comes together and leaves the sides of the bowl (make sure all the flour is worked in). Stir in the ham. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured board and knead 3 or 4 times until smooth and manageable.
- With your hands or a floured rolling pin, flatten the dough to a thickness of 1/2 inch. Cut the dough out with a 2-inch floured biscuit cutter.
- Remove the skillet from the oven and melt the remaining 1 tablespoon butter in it. Place the biscuits in the skillet. Bake until lightly browned, 10 to 12 minutes.
- To serve: Split the biscuits and serve with a generous spread of pimento cheese.
