Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ⅓ cup cold butter
  • ⅔ cup finely diced cheddar cheese
  • ⅔ cup finely diced ham
  • 1 to 1 ¼ cup milk

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper (or grease it well).
  2. Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and garlic powder in a medium bowl. Whisk to combine.
  3. Add cold butter and cut in with a fork until the butter is the size of peas or slightly smaller. Add ham and cheese and stir.
  4. Add milk a bit at a time stirring after each addition until you make a dough that is sticky and can be dropped with a spoon. The dough should be a bit softer than cookie dough.
  5. Drop dough by heaping tablespoons to create 12 biscuits.
  6. Bake 12-15 minutes or lightly browned.

Notes

  • Cut in the butter until it is the size of peas. I often use my hands to make this task quick.
