COUNTRY HAM AND PIMENTO CHEESE BISCUIT
Rich, creamy and irresistible pimento cheese is piled on top of a flaky buttery biscuit with a few slices of salty-sweet country fried ham
Ingredients
- 6 ounces sliced country ham
- Pimento Cheese
- 2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into cubes and chilled, plus 1 tablespoon for the skillet
- 3/4 cup buttermilk, well shaken
How to Make It
Step 1: Cook the Country Ham in a large, deep skillet over medium-heat until evenly browned, about 10 minutes.
Step 2: To make biscuits: Mix the flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Using a pastry blender or 2 table knives, cut the cold butter cubes into the flour until it resembles coarse meal. Use a fork to stir in the buttermilk to make a soft dough that comes together and leaves the sides of the bowl (make sure all the flour is worked in). Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured board and knead 3 or 4 times until smooth and manageable.
Step 3: With your hands or a floured rolling pin, flatten the dough to a thickness of 1/2 inch. Cut the dough out with a 2-inch floured biscuit cutter.
Step 4: Remove the skillet from the oven and melt the remaining 1 tablespoon butter in it. Place the biscuits in the skillet. Bake until lightly browned, 10 to 12 minutes.
Step 5: To serve: Split the biscuits, add country ham, and serve with a generous spread of pimento cheese.
