Ham biscuits

Directions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and baking soda.  Cut butter into cubes. Using a pastry blender or two forks, cut in cold butter until mixture is crumbly. Stir in buttermilk until a dough just begins to form. Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat dough into a 10- by 8-inch rectangle. Cut into fourths. Stack on top of each other, pat or roll into a rectangle again. Repeat three more times. Roll dough to 3/4-inch thickness. Use a 2 ½-inch biscuit cutter to make 12 biscuits. Re-roll scraps as needed. Freeze until cold, about 10 minutes. Place biscuits in a 12-inch cast iron skillet. Bake until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Cut each biscuit in half and place a slice of Schwab’s ham in each. Serve with honey, jam, mustard or your favorite spread.
