Ham and Cheese Drop Biscuits

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 4 teaspoons baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
• ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
• ⅓ cup cold butter
• ⅔ cup finely diced cheddar cheese
• ⅔ cup finely diced ham
• 1 to 1 ¼ cup milk

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper (or grease it well).

2. 2

   Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and garlic powder in a medium bowl. Whisk to combine.

3. 3

   Add cold butter and cut in with a fork until the butter is the size of peas or slightly smaller. Add ham and cheese and stir.

4. 4

   Add milk a bit at a time stirring after each addition until you make a dough that is sticky and can be dropped with a spoon. The dough should be a bit softer than cookie dough.

5. 5

   Drop dough by heaping tablespoons to create 12 biscuits.

6. 6

   Bake 12-15 minutes or lightly browned.
