List of Ingredients





2¾ C all-purpose flour
1 Tbsp granulated sugar
1 tsp dried thyme
2 tsp salt
2½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
1 C butter, cold
¾ C buttermilk
2 C cooked ham cut into ½” cubes
1 C Sharp Cheddar Cheese cut into ¼” cubes
1 large egg


Recipe



Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set pan aside.
Using a large bowl, add flour, sugar, thyme, salt, baking powder and baking soda; stir until well combined.
Cut butter into ½” cubes and add to the bowl with the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter (or two table knives) cut in butter until it’s the size of small peas.

Add buttermilk, ham and cheese; stir until well combined. (Note: If there are still bits of unincorporated flour, add a tablespoon of water to the dough.)

Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll dough into an 8”x 8” square. Cut dough into 4 equal pieces; stack each piece on top of themselves. Roll into a rectangle again. Repeat process 2 more times.

Roll dough into an 8”x 8” square.

Using a 2½” round cookie cutter dipped in flour, press down without twisting cutter. Place biscuits 2” apart on prepared baking sheet. Re-roll scraps as needed until all dough has been used.

Place pan in freezer for 15 minutes.

Preheat oven to 425°F.

Whisk egg with 1 Tbsp of water; brush egg wash on top of biscuits.

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until tops are golden brown in color.
