Ham biscuits are a genius way to use up leftover ham. Just add homemade buttery biscuits, and you've got a tasty snack or potluck treat.

Ingredients

1 cup 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

Preheat oven to 450°. In a small bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt; cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a small bowl, beat cottage cheese 2 minutes. Beat in egg and milk until blended. Stir into crumb mixture just until moistened.
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.
Place 1 in. apart on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake 8-12 minutes or until golden brown. Split biscuits in half; spread with softened butter. Place ham on biscuit bottoms; replace tops.

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. —Betsy Hedeman, Timonium, Maryland
