I enjoy entertaining friends at luncheons. They always compliment me on these special little ham sandwiches made on cheesy homemade biscuits. Usually, I use Smithfield ham, but if salty ham is not your preference, any thin-sliced ham works well. Ingredients:
1 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
2 teaspoons sugar |
1-1/8 teaspoons baking powder |
1/4 teaspoon baking soda |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
2 tablespoons cold butter |
1/2 cup 4% cottage cheese |
1 egg |
3 tablespoons milk |
8 teaspoons butter, softened |
1/2 pound sliced deli ham |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt; cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a small bowl, beat cottage cheese for 2 minutes. Beat in egg and milk until blended. Stir into crumb mixture just until moistened.
2. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead 8-10 times. Pat or roll out to 1/2-in. thickness; cut out eight biscuits with a floured 2-1/2-in. biscuit cutter.
3. Place 1 in. apart on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 450° for 8-12 minutes or until golden brown. Split biscuits in half; spread with softened butter. Place ham on biscuit bottoms; replace tops. Yield: 8 sandwiches.
