These Southern biscuits are rolled thin to allow the flavor of the country ham to shine. Published in Saveur magazine, December 2009. Ingredients:
2 cups self-rising flour |
4 tablespoons butter |
1 cup buttermilk |
4 ounces thinly sliced cooked country ham |
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 425°F
2. Sift flour into a large bowl; mix in butter until the mixture has the consistency of cornmeal. Using a wooden spoon, stir in buttermilk to form a dough. Transfer dough to a floured work surface; knead briefly until smooth.
3. Roll dough into a 1/4 thick rectangle. Cut dough into twelve 4 x3 rectangles; transfer to a baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, about 15-20 minutes. Cool slightly.
