Cut in shortening until mixture is crumbly. Fold in ham and chives. Add buttermilk; stir just until the dough clings together. , Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead gently 10-12 times. Roll dough to 1/2-in. thickness. Cut with a floured 2-1/2-in. biscuit cutter. Place in a large ungreased cast-iron or other ovenproof skillet. Bake until golden brown, 13-15 minutes.

VIRGINIA COUNTRY HAM BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet or round cake pan with parchment paper; set aside.
• In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar. Use a pastry cutter or two forks to cut the butter and shortening into the flour mixture until incorporated and the mixture resembles coarse meal. You will still see flakes of butter and shortening throughout, which is good!
• Gradually add the buttermilk, stirring with a wooden spoon until a fairly wet, sticky dough forms. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 1 minute, adding flour to the counter and your hands, as necessary, to prevent sticking. Roll or pat to ¾-inch thickness. Use a small biscuit cutter to cut out rounds (I recommend a 2-inch cutter or smaller for ham biscuits). Firmly press the cutter down into the dough, but do not twist. Twisting the biscuit cutter seals off the edges of the biscuits and they therefore will not rise as high.
• Arrange biscuits (with sides touching) on the parchment-lined baking sheet or round pan. Brush the tops of the biscuits with a little bit of the melted butter. Place the tray of biscuits in the refrigerator for about 5 minutes (if you have time) to chill before popping them in the oven.
• Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until tops are golden brown. Brush the tops with additional melted butter, transfer to wire rack to cool slightly, and assemble sandwiches.
• Once the biscuits are cool enough to handle, split each biscuit in half (don't slice the biscuits with a knife -- use the tines of a fork to poke holes around the edge and then gently pull apart).
• Spread a dollop of your preferred condiment (butter, mustard, etc.) on each side of the biscuit, add a couple of thin slices of country ham, and then close the sandwich and enjoy!

HAM BISCUITS RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F. Whisk together all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda in a medium bowl. Cut cold butter pieces into flour mixture with a pastry blender until mixture is crumbly. Make a well in center of mixture. Add whole buttermilk, and stir until mixture comes together in a ball.
• Scrape dough onto a lightly floured surface, and knead three to four times. Lightly flour top of dough and a rolling pin. Roll dough into a rectangle, and fold dough in half so short ends meet. Repeat the rolling and folding procedures one more time.
• Roll dough to 1⁄2-inch thickness. Cut with a floured 2-inch round cutter, rerolling scraps once. (You should have 10 biscuits.) Place biscuits 1 inch apart on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in preheated oven until golden brown and firm to the touch, about 10 minutes.
• Brush tops of hot biscuits with melted butter, and serve with sliced ham and choice of Biscuit Spreads.

BAKED HAM, EGG AND CHEESE BREAKFAST SANDWICHES FOR A CROWD

Steps:

• Position a rack in the lower third of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Place two 2-foot-long pieces of nonstick aluminum foil next to each other so the long sides are just touching. Pinch the edges together and then fold them over several times to seal and form one large piece of foil. Line a rimmed baking sheet with the foil and set aside.
• Crack the eggs into a large bowl and whisk well. Add the scallions, 1 teaspoon salt and 2 tablespoons water and whisk to combine.
• Split the whole pack of attached dinner rolls in half horizontally using a serrated knife. Set aside.
• Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the prepared baking sheet and place in the oven to melt, about 3 minutes. Spread the butter all over the foil with a pastry brush and then pour in the egg mixture. Place the attached roll halves cut-side down and side by side on top of the eggs and return to the oven. Bake until the eggs are completely set, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, butter another baking sheet with the remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Using heatproof mitts, top the rolls with this baking sheet and invert the whole thing. Remove the top baking sheet and peel back the foil. Top half the eggs with the cheese and the other half with the ham. Bake until the cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.
• Using a large metal hamburger spatula, flip the bottom half of the rolls onto the other half, so the rolls are top-side up. Cut or pull the rolls apart. Serve with hot sauce.

Use a Champagne flute or biscuit cutter to press into 12 circles about 2 to 2 1/2 inches in diameter. If desired, reroll the scraps of dough to make into biscuits.
• Arrange the biscuits on a cookie sheet, and bake until lightly browned, 12 to 14 minutes. Remove from heat and cool slightly. To serve, split the biscuits in half and butter each cut side. Insert a slice of ham between the halves, and close. If desired, reheat in the oven for 2 to 3 minutes. Serve warm.

PARTY HAM BISCUITS

Steps:

Melt the butter and brown sugar on low heat in a saucepan until sugar melts in the butter and is caramel in color. Brush butter/sugar mix on bottom half of rolls, then tear up ham evenly among the 3 tins, put the tops back on and brush with butter/sugar mix. Heat for 15 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. (If you are serving immediately, otherwise just cook about 10 minutes then wrap in foil and freeze in ziploc bag. If you do that, just pull out whenever you want, thaw and reheat for another 8-10 minutes at 350@) Cut into individual rolls.

Cut out as many biscuits as possible with a 2-inch round cutter dipped in flour and transfer them to an ungreased baking sheet. Gather the scraps, reroll the dough, and cut out more biscuits in the same manner. Brush the tops of the biscuits with the additional cream, prick them lightly with a fork, and bake the biscuits in the middle of a preheated 425°F. oven for 15 minutes, or until they are pale golden.
