Cheddar and Ham Biscuit Bites


  • Author: Sarah

Ingredients

Scale

Creating these mouthwatering bites is a breeze with a few simple ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1 cup buttermilk, cold
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup diced cooked ham
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter (optional, for brushing tops)

Instructions

Follow these step-by-step instructions to make perfect Cheddar and Ham Biscuit Bites:

  1. Preheat the oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together until well combined.
  3. Cut in the butter: Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Add buttermilk: Pour the cold buttermilk into the flour-butter mixture. Stir gently with a fork until the dough begins to come together.
  5. Incorporate cheese and ham: Gently fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and diced ham until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  6. Knead the dough: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently for about 5-6 times until it holds together.
  7. Roll out the dough: Roll the dough to approximately ½-inch thickness using a floured rolling pin.
  8. Cut out biscuits: Use a round biscuit cutter to cut out individual biscuit bites from the dough. Gather and re-roll scraps if necessary.
  9. Prepare for baking: Place the biscuit bites onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart. If desired, brush the tops with melted butter for a golden finish.
  10. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuit bites are golden brown and cooked through.
  11. Cool and serve: Allow the biscuit bites to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving warm.
