These savory ham biscuits feature a sticky-sweet brown sugar bourbon peach glaze paired with salty ham and flaky buttery biscuits, perfect for parties and easy snacks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk, cold
  • 12 ounces thinly sliced smoked ham
  • 1/2 cup peach preserves
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 tablespoons bourbon
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • Pinch of cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line your baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, and 1 teaspoon salt.
  3. Add 6 tablespoons cold, cubed unsalted butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or two forks, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits of butter.
  4. Pour in 3/4 cup cold buttermilk and stir gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat it into a rectangle about 1 inch thick. Fold the dough over on itself 2-3 times to create layers, then pat it back into a 1-inch thick rectangle.
  6. Using a 2.5-inch round cutter or a sharp knife, cut out 12 biscuits. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, slightly touching for softer sides or spaced apart for crispier edges.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until golden brown and puffed up. Remove from oven and set aside.
  8. While biscuits bake, combine 1/2 cup peach preserves, 1/4 cup packed brown sugar, 2 tablespoons bourbon, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar, and a pinch of cinnamon in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir frequently until sugar dissolves and mixture thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
  9. Slice each biscuit in half horizontally. Brush the bottom half generously with the warm glaze, then layer with about 1 ounce thinly sliced smoked ham per biscuit.
  10. Brush the top half of the biscuit with glaze as well and sandwich together. For extra glaze shine, brush the tops lightly again. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Keep ingredients cold for flaky biscuits. Do not overmix dough. Fold dough to create layers. Taste glaze before brushing and adjust sweetness with vinegar or mustard if needed. Use quality smoked or honey-glazed ham. Brush glaze on warm biscuits to avoid sogginess. Biscuits can be frozen raw and baked from frozen with extra baking time.
