Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
- 8 tablespoons cold lard, cut into small chunks
- 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
- 1/4 cup whole grain mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 8 ounces ham, sliced 1/4-inch thick, from a bone-in or boneless ham
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda and chives. Using a pastry blender or your hands, cut in the lard until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Make a well in the center and pour in the buttermilk. Mix gently until a soft dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead about 5 times. Roll out to 1-inch thick. Cut out using a 2 1/2-inch cutter. Reroll the scraps and cut out the rest. Place on an ungreased baking sheet and bake until the biscuits are puffed and golden brown, about 20 minutes.
- In a small bowl, whisk the whole grain mustard, honey and Dijon mustard until smooth.
- When the biscuits are cool enough to handle, split and spread the bottoms with the honey mustard. Add the ham and the biscuit top. Serve warm or at room temperature.
