Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour (plus a little for dusting) $0.26
- 1 tsp salt $0.05
- 1/2 Tbsp sugar $0.02
- 4 tsp baking powder $0.16
- 1 pint heavy cream* $1.69
- 6 slices cheese $1.03
- 12 slices deli ham $1.59
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400ºF. In a large bowl combine the flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder. Stir until they are very well combined.
- Pour the heavy cream into the bowl and stir until all of the flour is moistened and a thick ball of dough forms.
- Scrape the biscuit dough out of the bowl onto a well floured surface and press it down into a rough rectangle. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough out into a rectangle about 8x11 inches and about 1/2-inch thick. Cut the rectangle into 12 pieces.
- Stack one slice of cheese and two slices of ham onto 6 of the biscuit squares, then top with the remaining 6 biscuit squares. Place the Ham and Cheese Biscuits onto a baking sheet covered in parchment paper and transfer to the preheated oven.
- Bake the Ham and Cheese Biscuits for about 25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top. Serve hot.
