Ham and Cheese Biscuits

Getting reviews...
Ham and cheese gets a slight twist; here the cheese is in the biscuit itself. Use your favorite ham here and, if you prefer, swap in mustard for the mayo-chive combo. The biscuits can be shaped and refrigerated up to 3 hours before baking. No need to bring to room temp before baking.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  2. Whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Stir in the cheese. Cut the butter into the flour mixture with a pastry blender or 2 knives scissors-fashion until it resembles coarse crumbs. Gently mix in the cream until combined. 
  3. Pat the dough out to a 9-inch-thick round on a lightly-floured work surface. Cut out 16 rounds using a 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass, re-rolling any scraps (don't twist the cutter as you use it; this will prevent the biscuits from rising unevenly). Place 1-inch apart on an ungreased baking sheet and bake until well risen and lightly browned, 20 to 22 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. 
  4. Meanwhile, whisk together the mayonnaise and chives in a small bowl. When the biscuits have cooled, cut each in half crosswise; spread with mayo and top with ham.
