Best 5 Special Ham Biscuits Recipes

HAM AND CHEESE BISCUITS {TRADITIONAL AND GLUTEN FREE RECIPES}

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Stir together the dry ingredients. Grate the butter into the dry ingredients and stir lightly to combine. Use a fork or pastry blender to cut in the cold butter pieces until the mixture resembles a course meal with little pea size or smaller lumps throughout.
• Whisk the egg into the milk and then pour into the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. Stir just long enough to combine. The mixture should be somewhat dry and just a tiny bit sticky at this point. Add the ham, cheese and onions and stir or press lightly with your hands to combine.
• Sprinkle a tablespoon of flour onto a countertop, pastry mat, or tea towel (as described in the blog post). Dump the dough out onto this surface and sprinkle a half tablespoon or so of flour across the top of the dough. Lightly press the dough with your hands to flatten it until it is about 1" thickness. Add just a sprinkling more flour as needed, to make sure the dough isn't too sticky.
• Use a biscuit cutter, round cookie cutter or drinking glass to cut the biscuit shapes out of the dough. You can also shape them with your hands, if that is more your style. Place the cut biscuits on a parchment or silpat lined baking sheet. Press the remaining bits of dough into a biscuit shape with your hands.
• Bake for 16-18 minutes, until the bottom of the biscuits are lightly browned. The tops of these biscuits will not brown very much at all, although the pieces of cheese in the dough should toast nicely. Remove from the oven and transfer to a basket or cooling rack. Enjoy!

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!

HAM BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups flour, baking soda, salt and baking powder. Mix well. Add the butter and buttermilk, and knead lightly by hand to make a cohesive dough.
• Sprinkle a work surface with flour, and turn the dough onto it. Knead with the heel of the hand about six times; do not overhandle. Roll out into a flat circle about 3/4-inch thick. Use a Champagne flute or biscuit cutter to press into 12 circles about 2 to 2 1/2 inches in diameter. If desired, reroll the scraps of dough to make into biscuits.
• Arrange the biscuits on a cookie sheet, and bake until lightly browned, 12 to 14 minutes. Remove from heat and cool slightly. To serve, split the biscuits in half and butter each cut side. Insert a slice of ham between the halves, and close. If desired, reheat in the oven for 2 to 3 minutes. Serve warm.

HAM ON BISCUITS

Pat or roll out to 1/2-in. thickness; cut out eight biscuits with a floured 2-1/2-in. biscuit cutter., Place 1 in. apart on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake 8-12 minutes or until golden brown. Split biscuits in half; spread with softened butter. Place ham on biscuit bottoms; replace tops.
