Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment.
- Pulse the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt in a food processor until combined. Add the butter and 1/2 cup of the Cheddar and pulse until the mixture looks like coarse meal with pea-size bits of butter remaining. Add the buttermilk and pulse a few times, until the dough just comes together.
- Turn the dough out onto a work surface that's lightly dusted with flour, then pat into a 7-by-7-inch square that's about 1 inch thick. Scatter half of the ham and 1/4 cup of the Cheddar on half of the dough, then fold the other half of dough over like a book; gently pinch the edges to seal. Pat the dough out again into a 7-by-7-inch square, scatter the remaining ham and 1/4 cup of cheese on top and fold the dough over like a book. Press once more into a 7-by-7-inch square.
- Use a sharp chef's knife to cut the dough into 12 even rectangular pieces. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops of each piece with additional buttermilk. Bake until the biscuits are puffed and well browned, 18 to 20 minutes.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with butter and set aside.
- Put the butter and baking mix in the bowl of a food processor and pulse to combine. Add the cheese, buttermilk, cream and pimientos and pulse until just combined.
- Using 2 spoons, drop 1/4-cup quantities of dough into the cups of the prepared muffin tin. Brush with buttermilk if desired. Bake until golden on top, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Slice the biscuits in half. Spread some mustard onto the bottom half of each biscuit. Top with sliced ham and cover with the biscuit tops.
- Adjust the oven racks to accommodate a large covered roasting pan. Fit the pan with a shallow rack. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Unwrap the ham and rinse it in cold water. Place it on the rack in the roasting pan. Cover the pan with the lid and bake for half the estimated cooking time (total cooking time is about 20 minutes per pound, so 6 hours to 6 hours 40 minutes total).
- Halfway through the estimated cooking time, add the sugar and honey to a saucepan, cooking over medium heat until smooth and the sugar is dissolved. Pour the mixture over the ham and continue baking the ham, basting occasionally with the drippings in the roaster. Check for doneness at the end of the estimated cooking time by inserting a meat thermometer at a meaty point (not into fat or touching the bone). It should register 160 degrees F. Allow the ham to stand for 15 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to set.

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!
