Best 4 Biscuits With Ham Butter Recipes

VIRGINIA COUNTRY HAM BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet or round cake pan with parchment paper; set aside.
• In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar. Use a pastry cutter or two forks to cut the butter and shortening into the flour mixture until incorporated and the mixture resembles coarse meal. You will still see flakes of butter and shortening throughout, which is good!
• Gradually add the buttermilk, stirring with a wooden spoon until a fairly wet, sticky dough forms. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 1 minute, adding flour to the counter and your hands, as necessary, to prevent sticking. Roll or pat to ¾-inch thickness. Use a small biscuit cutter to cut out rounds (I recommend a 2-inch cutter or smaller for ham biscuits). Firmly press the cutter down into the dough, but do not twist. Twisting the biscuit cutter seals off the edges of the biscuits and they therefore will not rise as high.
• Arrange biscuits (with sides touching) on the parchment-lined baking sheet or round pan. Brush the tops of the biscuits with a little bit of the melted butter. Place the tray of biscuits in the refrigerator for about 5 minutes (if you have time) to chill before popping them in the oven.
• Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until tops are golden brown. Brush the tops with additional melted butter, transfer to wire rack to cool slightly, and assemble sandwiches.
• Once the biscuits are cool enough to handle, split each biscuit in half (don't slice the biscuits with a knife -- use the tines of a fork to poke holes around the edge and then gently pull apart).
• Spread a dollop of your preferred condiment (butter, mustard, etc.) on each side of the biscuit, add a couple of thin slices of country ham, and then close the sandwich and enjoy!

SUNNY'S HAM AND CHEESE BISCUITS WITH HONEY DIJON BUTTER

Steps:

• For the biscuits: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Place the self-rising flour in a large bowl and toss with the cheese and ham. Grate the butter into the flour mixture. Pour in the buttermilk and mix gently with a wooden spoon. Once the dough comes together, turn it out onto a floured surface, divide it into 8 equal balls and pat them down lightly.
• Put the balls in a cast-iron pan or on a baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray. Bake until brown, 20 to 25 minutes.
• For the butter: In a bowl, mix together the butter, honey and mustard.
• When the biscuits are done, brush some of the butter over the tops. Serve the biscuits with the remaining butter and the preserves.

HAM BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°. In a food processor, process ham until ground; set aside. In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, onion powder, garlic powder and mustard. Cut in shortening until mixture is crumbly. Fold in ham and chives. Add buttermilk; stir just until the dough clings together. , Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead gently 10-12 times. Roll dough to 1/2-in. thickness. Cut with a floured 2-1/2-in. biscuit cutter. Place in a large ungreased cast-iron or other ovenproof skillet. Bake until golden brown, 13-15 minutes. Brush with butter. Serve warm.

PARTY HAM BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350@. Thaw rolls halfway so that you can flip them out of tray and cut in half horizontally as a whole piece, then put the bottom half back in the tin. Melt the butter and brown sugar on low heat in a saucepan until sugar melts in the butter and is caramel in color. Brush butter/sugar mix on bottom half of rolls, then tear up ham evenly among the 3 tins, put the tops back on and brush with butter/sugar mix. Heat for 15 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. (If you are serving immediately, otherwise just cook about 10 minutes then wrap in foil and freeze in ziploc bag. If you do that, just pull out whenever you want, thaw and reheat for another 8-10 minutes at 350@) Cut into individual rolls.
