Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ½ cups (312.5 g) all-purpose flour
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 cup (113 g) medium cheddar cheese, shredded,
- 1 cup (113 g) white cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup (135 g) cooked ham, diced
- ¼ cup (12 g) chives, chopped
- 2 cups (490 g) buttermilk
- ½ cup (1 stick / 113 g) unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 450°F. Spray a 7×11-inch deep baking dish* with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
-
To a medium bowl, add flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder. Whisk to combine.
-
In a small bowl, mix medium cheddar and white cheddar cheeses.
-
To the flour mixture, add 1 cup of the blended cheeses, diced ham, and chives.
-
Pour in the buttermilk. Stir until mostly combined, being careful not to overwork the batter.
-
Pour the melted butter into the prepared baking dish. Place the dough on top of the butter and use a spatula (or your hands) to evenly spread the dough out to the edges of the pan.
-
Top with the remaining cup of cheese.
-
Bake for 26-28 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
-
When done, remove the biscuits from the oven. Allow the butter to be absorbed into the biscuits before cutting and serving.
Notes
*It is important that the baking dish is deep (2-3 inches). But, if using a shallow baking dish, the butter may spill over the pan while baking, so place a baking sheet under the pan in case of spillover.
