Ingredients

The following ingredients have 9 Servings
  • 2 cups self-rising flour
  • 3/4 cup chopped smoked honey ham
  • 1/2 cup shredded Cheddar or Monterey jack cheese
  • 1/8 cup chopped pickled jalapeno, optional
  • 1/3 cup melted cooled butter or cooking oil
  • Up to 2/3 cup milk (enough milk to moisten dough)

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Combine flour, ham, cheese and pickled jalapeno, if using. Make well in center and pour in the butter or oil and most of the milk, using a fork to combine everything. Add the remaining milk as needed.
  • Turn dough out onto a floured surface and sprinkle a little bit of flour on top, kneading dough until it is smooth and no longer sticky.
  • Pat dough about 1/2-inch thick and cut out close together with a 2-inch biscuit cutter, gathering scraps to make the last few biscuits.
  • Place on a silpat or parchment covered cookie sheet, spaced about 1/2 inch apart and bake at 350 degrees F for about 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Makes about 9 biscuits, depending on how you cut them.
