INGREDIENTS

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 cup cubed fully cooked ham
  • 1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened

DIRECTIONS

  1. In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt; set aside. Combine sour cream and egg; mix well. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead gently 4 to 5 times. Roll to 1/2-in. thickness; cut with a 2-1/2-in. biscuit cutter. Place on a greased baking sheet. Bake at 425 degrees F for 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned.
  2. Meanwhile, in a blender or food processor, process ham until finely minced. Add butter and continue processing until well mixed. Spread over warm biscuits.

Like Joan, I too used these for chicken a la king. Very good and I'm looking forward to making the ham butter too. Thank you Andrea!

I didn't try the ham butter, but the biscuits were excellent. I always have these ingredients on hand. I just patted out the dough instead of rolling it, and used a drinking glass for the cutter. These were so easy. I love being able to do things all in one bowl, so I beat the egg, then added the sour cream and salt. Then added the baking powder. I always let it sit for a minute or two while I prepare the pan to give it a chance to disolve. Stir it again, add the flour enough to moisten and then just pat it out to half an inch. I always try to remember that this is not a yeast bread that likes to be beat to death. The less you handle biscuit dough the better the biscuits. These rose beautifully. My oven runs a little hot, so I lowered the temp to 400 and cooked them for 14 min. Definately a keeper.
