Country Ham Biscuits and Scallion-Pimento Cheese image

Provided by Trisha Yearwood

Time 40m

Yield 16 biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 10

Two 7-ounce bricks sharp white Cheddar, finely grated
Two 4-ounce jars pimentos, drained and diced
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup chopped scallions
2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into cubes and chilled, plus 1 tablespoon for the skillet
3/4 cup buttermilk, well shaken
1/4 cup finely diced country ham

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.

Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 8 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 13

All-purpose flour, for dusting
1 recipe Buttermilk Biscuit Dough, recipe follows
1/2 cup whole-grain mustard
8 thin slices city ham
4 cups shredded sharp white or yellow Cheddar
1/2 cup heavy cream
Freshly ground black pepper
4 cups all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1 1/2 cups cold buttermilk

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Dust your work surface with flour and roll the biscuit dough out 1/4-inch thick or slightly thicker. Cut out 5-inch rounds with a cutter. Reroll the scraps and cut again.
  • Spread a tablespoon of mustard over half of the top of each round. Fold the ham slices, put them on top of the mustard, leaving a 1/4-inch border, and then mound a scant 1/2 cup of the Cheddar on top. Fold the dough over to make a half-moon and press with a fork to seal. As you go, transfer each finished biscuit to the prepared baking sheet.
  • Brush the tops of the biscuits with cream and top with a sprinkling of black pepper. Bake until golden brown and baked through, about 15 minutes. Cool briefly and serve hot.
  • Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Cut in the butter using your fingers or a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add the buttermilk and mix gently until the mixture just begins to come together.

APPLE, HAM AND CHEDDAR BISCUIT CUPS



Apple, Ham and Cheddar Biscuit Cups image

A tablespoon of butter in the pan, melty melty, then the apple plus brown sugar plus cinnamon. What happens is the sugar caramelizes into the butter, and this almost toffee-like stickiness gets the apple super sweet and browned. And then we add savory. The ham. The chopped rosemary. A pinch of salt. Cook it until the ham gets little sear marks here and there. That combo right there of sweet and savory is the juicy secret to life and love.

Provided by Bev Weidner

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 apples (any kind you love!), finely diced
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Kosher salt
1 cup diced ham
2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary, plus more for garnish (from about 2 sprigs)
Two 6-ounce tubes refrigerated buttermilk biscuit dough (10 biscuits total)
4 ounces extra-sharp Cheddar, grated (about 2 cups)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the apples, sugar, cinnamon and a pinch of salt. Saute until the apples are tender and start to stick when you scoot them around the pan, about 5 minutes. The butter and sugar will caramelize and become slightly sticky. Add the ham and rosemary. Saute until the ham gets some nice sear marks here and there, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, roll out the biscuits until 3 1/2 inches wide and gently press them into 10 cups of a muffin tin. Spoon the filing evenly into each cup, then top each with the Cheddar. Bake until the cheese is melted and starting to lightly brown and bubble, about 15 minutes.
  • Pop each biscuit out of the tin and transfer to a platter or cutting board. Garnish with rosemary and serve immediately.

VIRGINIA COUNTRY HAM BISCUITS



Virginia Country Ham Biscuits image

A pride of Virginia culture, these Country Ham Biscuits are a Southern tradition that have been loved for centuries!

Provided by Blair Lonergan

Categories     Appetizer     Breakfast

Time 32m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups all-purpose flour (such as White Lily brand)
4 teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
¾ teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons salted butter (diced into small pieces and chilled, plus about 2 tablespoons of melted butter for brushing tops)
2 tablespoons shortening (diced into small pieces and chilled (or can sub with lard))
¾ - 1 cup cold buttermilk
½ lb. country ham
Optional condiments, such as butter, mustard, honey mustard, spicy mustard, fig preserves, peach jam or pimento cheese

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!
