Ingredients:
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 stick (1 cup) salted butter
– 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
– 1 tablespoon aluminum-free baking powder
– 1 cup buttermilk (can increase to 2 cups if needed)
– 2 cups small diced ham
– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 450F degrees.
2. Spray a 9×9 inch oven-safe glass or ceramic baking dish with nonstick cooking spray, preferably one that has flour included.
3. In a medium bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar, and 1 tablespoon of aluminum-free baking powder.
4. Pour in 1 cup of buttermilk and stir until a sticky batter forms. If the batter seems too dry, add a little more buttermilk until it becomes thick and sticky.
5. Gently fold in 2 cups of diced ham and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese until evenly mixed.
6. Melt 1 stick of salted butter in a microwave-safe bowl or in your baking dish, ensuring it’s microwave-safe.
7. Pour the melted butter into the prepared baking dish.
8. Carefully spoon the biscuit dough over the melted butter. It’s okay if some butter spills over the dough.
9. To spread the dough evenly in the pan, lightly spray your hands with nonstick spray and smooth it out.
10. Cut the dough into 9 squares to make it easier to separate later.
11. Bake on the middle rack for about 25-30 minutes, rotating the dish once during baking.
12. If the biscuits begin browning too quickly, cover them with foil for the remainder of the baking time.
13. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean. If it does, they’re ready to slice and serve!
