Steps:

• For the biscuits: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Place the self-rising flour in a large bowl and toss with the cheese and ham. Grate the butter into the flour mixture. Pour in the buttermilk and mix gently with a wooden spoon. Once the dough comes together, turn it out onto a floured surface, divide it into 8 equal balls and pat them down lightly.
• Put the balls in a cast-iron pan or on a baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray. Bake until brown, 20 to 25 minutes.
• For the butter: In a bowl, mix together the butter, honey and mustard.
• When the biscuits are done, brush some of the butter over the tops. Serve the biscuits with the remaining butter and the preserves.

HAM BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups flour, baking soda, salt and baking powder. Mix well. Add the butter and buttermilk, and knead lightly by hand to make a cohesive dough.
• Sprinkle a work surface with flour, and turn the dough onto it. Knead with the heel of the hand about six times; do not overhandle. Roll out into a flat circle about 3/4-inch thick. 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.

HAM BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°. In a food processor, process ham until ground; set aside. In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, onion powder, garlic powder and mustard. 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. Brush with butter. Serve warm.

HAM ON BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°. In a small bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt; cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a small bowl, beat cottage cheese 2 minutes. Beat in egg and milk until blended. Stir into crumb mixture just until moistened. , Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead 8-10 times. Pat or roll out to 1/2-in. thickness; cut out eight biscuits with a floured 2-1/2-in. biscuit cutter., Place 1 in. apart on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake 8-12 minutes or until golden brown. Split biscuits in half; spread with softened butter. Place ham on biscuit bottoms; replace tops.

SUNDAY HAM

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°.
• Pour orange marmalade into a bowl and add about 1/2 can of the coke.
• Let it set while you prepare the ham.
• Remove visible fat from ham and make crisscross cuts in the ham.
• Place in a 9x13 baking pan and pour the marmalade/coke mixture over the ham.
• Place in oven uncovered and bake for 20 minutes.
• This allows the marmalade to set or crisp on the ham.
• After 20 minutes, cover the ham with foil and bake an additional 30 to 45 minutes.
• Baste with pan drippings every 15 minutes.
• If there are not enough pan drippings, mix up more marmalade mixture to baste the ham.
• Uncover the ham the last 20 to 30 minutes and baste every 7 or 8 minutes.
• Allow the marmalade mixture to brown until dark brown in color.
• Remove from oven and place ham onto a platter to cool before cutting.
• Total cook time is about 1 hour 5 minutes to 1 hour 35 minutes.

BISCUIT BREAKFAST SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Make the biscuits: Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 425 degrees. Butter a small baking sheet. (Keep the cubed butter cold.)
• Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Add the cold butter and toss to coat, then cut the butter into the flour using a pastry cutter or rub and pinch it in with your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse sand with no bits larger than the size of gravel.
• Add the milk all at once and quickly stir with a fork until the dough comes together in a shaggy mass. Use the fork to scoop and drop 4 even mounds of dough onto the prepared sheet, spacing apart. Gently pat the tops and sides to form round pucks; it's OK if the tops are a little craggy.
• Bake until golden brown, 20 to 23 minutes. Let cool on the pan on a rack while preparing the fillings.
• Make the fillings: Beat the eggs in a medium bowl until well mixed but not frothy. Season very generously with salt and pepper and beat again. Heat a medium nonstick or well-seasoned cast-iron skillet over medium until hot, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the butter, turn the heat to low and swirl the butter to evenly coat the bottom of the pan. When the butter has melted about halfway, add the eggs all at once. Cook, stirring gently, until mostly set but still a little wet, 1 to 2 minutes, then spread in an even layer.
• Once the bottom and edges are fully set, turn off the heat and cut the egg pancake in quarters using the spatula. Set a slice of cheese over each quarter. Slice each of the biscuits in half and spread jam on both halves. If you want bacon, sausage or ham, place them over the bottom halves. Slide the cheesy egg quarters over the bottom halves (or meat) and fold over any corners that stick out. Sandwich with the top halves and serve warm.

HAM BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• In a bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, salt and sugar and with a fork or pastry blender blend in lard until mixture resembles course meal. Add milk, a little at a time, stirring until dough just pulls away from side of bowl.
• Roll out dough 1/2 inch thick on a lightly floured surface. Cut out biscuits with a 1 1/2-inch round cutter and transfer to an ungreased baking sheet. Reroll scraps and cut out more biscuits in same manner.
• Bake biscuits in middle of oven until pale golden, 10 to 15 minutes. Makes 20 silver dollar-size biscuits.
• Split biscuits in half and spread lightly with mustard and horseradish. Put ham between biscuit halves.

CREAMED HAM OVER BISCUITS

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in milk just until moistened. Turn onto a lightly floured surface. Knead 8-10 times. Preheat oven to 425°F.
• Pat or roll out to 1/2 inch thickness; cut with a floured 2 1/2 inch biscuit cutter. Place 2 inches apart on a greased baking sheet. Bake at 425°F for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
• Meanwhile in a large skillet, saute ham and onion in butter for 3-4 minutes or until onion is crisp-tender.
• Stir in bouillon, Worcestershire sauce and pepper. Combine the flour and milk until smooth; gradually stir into the pan. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Gently stir in the eggs and parsley.
• Split the warm biscuits in half horizontally; top with warm ham mixture.
