Ingredients
for biscuits
- 5 cups all purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 2 cups buttermilk well shaken
- 1 package dry yeast
- 2 tablespoons warm water to dissolve yeast in
- ¾ cup unsalted butter diced
for apricot butter
- ½ cup butter at room temperature
- ½ cup apricot preserves
- 2 pounds Country ham see recipe on this site, shaved or very thinly sliced
Instructions
- Sift dry ingredients together in a large bowl. Add butter. Using a pastry cutter or two knives, cut the butter into the flour mixture until its well combined and crumbly- looking. This may take 5-10 minutes.
- Mix yeast and warm water together in a small bowl. Set aside to bloom for a few minutes.
- Add buttermilk and yeast to flour mixture and stir to combine.
- Refrigerate dough until ready to bake.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cover a baking sheet with a piece of parchment paper.
- Dust a work surface with flour. Take 1/4 of the dough and place it on the work surface. Knead dough for about 20 seconds. Lightly sprinkle top of dough and a rolling pin with flour. Roll out the dough to about a half to 3/4" thickness. Using small biscuit cutter (mine is about 2" in diameter- which makes perfect 2-3 bite biscuits), cut out biscuits. Transfer biscuits to the parchment paper.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until very lightly browned.
- Meanwhile, add the butter and preserves to the bowl of a mini-prep food processor. Pulse until the mixture comes together and is very smooth. Transfer to a small bowl and set aside.
- To assemble biscuits, split a biscuit in half. Lay several thin slices of ham on the biscuit. Spread a small spoonful of the apricot butter onto the top half of the biscuit and place on the ham. Serve.
Notes
- You don't have to make all the biscuits at once. Use what you need and keep the rest of the dough refrigerated until you want to make more.If serving at a party, assemble the ham biscuits in advance and serve them on large platters.Also - if you can get real country ham where you are -- do it! Have the butcher shave it super-thin.
