Ham Biscuits Recipe
- 20 silver dollar-size biscuits
- spicy prepared mustard to taste
- freshly grated horseradish to taste
- 20 pieces thinly sliced baked ham (about 1/2 pound)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/4 cup lard
- 1/2 to 3/4 cup milk
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- In a bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, salt and sugar and with a fork or pastry blender blend in lard until mixture resembles course meal. Add milk, a little at a time, stirring until dough just pulls away from side of bowl.
- Roll out dough 1/2 inch thick on a lightly floured surface. Cut out biscuits with a 1 1/2-inch round cutter and transfer to an ungreased baking sheet. Reroll scraps and cut out more biscuits in same manner.
- Bake biscuits in middle of oven until pale golden, 10 to 15 minutes. Makes 20 silver dollar-size biscuits.
- Split biscuits in half and spread lightly with mustard and horseradish. Put ham between biscuit halves.
