These Ham and Cheese Butter Biscuits are the perfect savory treat for breakfast, brunch, or as a side to your favorite dishes. With a rich blend of cheddar cheese, diced ham, and a buttery biscuit dough, they bake up golden and flaky, making them irresistibly delicious.

Ingredients

Scale

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
1/2 teaspoon onion powder (optional)
1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup diced ham (cooked)
3/4 cup buttermilk (or milk, if preferred)
1 tablespoon melted butter (for brushing)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder (if using).
Add cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your hands to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in shredded cheddar cheese and diced ham.
Gradually pour in the buttermilk, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently knead 2-3 times. Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Cut out biscuits using a biscuit cutter or a glass.
Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
After baking, brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

For best results, ensure your butter is cold before cutting it into the flour mixture. This helps create a flaky texture in the biscuits.
You can swap out the buttermilk for regular milk if needed, but buttermilk adds extra flavor and tenderness to the biscuits.
These biscuits are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days.
