Ham Cheese Butter Biscuits (Ready-to-Print Version)

Buttery biscuits with ham, cheddar, and a crispy golden crust perfect for brunch or snacks.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - 2 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 1 tablespoon baking powder
03 - 1/2 teaspoon salt

→ Wet Ingredients

04 - 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
05 - 1 cup buttermilk

→ Add-ins

06 - 1 cup diced ham
07 - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
08 - 1/4 cup chopped chives (optional)

# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - Preheat the oven to 425°F. Pour the melted butter into a 9x13-inch baking dish, coating the bottom evenly to ensure a rich, crispy base.
02 - In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt until thoroughly blended to ensure even leavening.
03 - In a separate bowl, stir together buttermilk, diced ham, and shredded cheddar cheese until well combined.
04 - Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold with a spatula until just combined, leaving some small lumps to maintain biscuit tenderness.
05 - Using a large spoon or ice cream scoop, drop portions of dough evenly over the melted butter in the baking dish, spacing them slightly apart.
06 - Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through. Let cool briefly before serving.

# Handy Tips:

01 - Avoid overmixing the dough to prevent tough biscuits. Use melted butter at the bottom of the dish for a crisp, flavorful crust. Optional chives add a fresh, subtle onion note.
