Ingredients

• All-Purpose Flour: 2 ½ cups
• Granulated Sugar: 1 tablespoon
• Baking Powder: 1 tablespoon (preferably aluminum-free)
• Buttermilk: 1 ¾ cups (or up to 2 cups if batter seems dry)
• Diced Ham: 2 cups, small pieces
• Shredded Cheddar Cheese: 1 ½ cups
• Salted Butter: ½ cup (1 stick), melted

Instructions

1. Prepare the Oven and Pan
   • Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
   • Spray a glass or ceramic 9×9-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Make the Biscuit Dough
   • In a medium bowl, mix the flour, sugar, and baking powder.
   • Gradually pour in the buttermilk and stir until a sticky dough forms. Add a little more buttermilk if the batter seems too dry.
   • Gently fold in the diced ham and shredded cheddar cheese until well combined.
3. Prepare the Baking Dish
   • Melt the butter in the microwave and pour it into the prepared baking dish.
   • Pour the biscuit dough into the dish, directly over the melted butter. Use a spoon or greased hands to spread the dough evenly. Some butter may seep over the top of the dough, which is normal.
4. Score the Dough
   • Use a knife to cut the dough into 9 squares before baking. This step makes it easier to separate the biscuits later.
5. Bake the Biscuits
   • Place the dish on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 25–30 minutes. Rotate the dish halfway through baking.
   • If the biscuits start browning too quickly, cover them with foil for the remaining baking time.
   • The biscuits are ready when they are golden brown, spring back when touched, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Serve
   • Let the biscuits cool slightly before slicing along the pre-scored lines. Serve warm and enjoy!
