Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted and cooled
- 1/4 cup water or milk
- 4 ounces ham
- 4 ounces cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup green onions diced
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and melt the butter. Set the butter aside to cool.
- If using sausage or bacon, cook it first and allow it to cool. If using ham, dice the ham and green onions.
- In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, and baking powder.
- Add the eggs, melted butter, cheese, ham, and green onions. Mix until the dough comes together.
- Place the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. I like to use an ice cream scoop to portion the dough, but you can also use a measuring cup.
- Bake for 17 to 20 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
- Allow the biscuits to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Allow the melted butter to cool slightly before adding it to the dough so it does not cook the eggs.
- Use a scoop to portion the dough evenly so the biscuits bake at the same rate.
- Do not overmix the dough. Mixing just until combined helps keep the biscuits tender.
- Shred your own cheese if possible for the best melting and flavor.
