Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup cold butter, cubed
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup cooked ham, diced or 1 cup Mediterranean sausage, cooked and crumbled
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or feta)
- Optional: herbs and spices (e.g., garlic powder, oregano)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
- Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until you achieve a coarse crumb texture.
- Gradually stir in the milk until just combined—make sure not to overmix!
- Fold in the diced ham or cooked sausage and shredded cheese carefully.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead gently until it comes together. Roll it into about 1-inch thickness.
- Use a biscuit cutter or glass to cut the dough into rounds and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until they turn golden brown.
- Serve warm, or allow them to cool for meal prep or freezing.
Notes
Ensure your butter is cold for a fluffy texture. Avoid overmixing the dough.
