Ham Biscuits

These Ham Biscuits are a delightful Southern-style treat that combines tender, flaky dough with a savory surprise inside. The biscuit dough is rich and buttery, providing the perfect vessel for a mixture of minced ham and sharp prepared mustard. As they bake, the filling warms through, creating a delicious contrast of textures: soft, airy bread meets salty, meaty center. They are incredibly easy to make and serve as an excellent appetizer, brunch item, or hearty lunch. The addition of mustard cuts through the richness of the ham, balancing the flavors perfectly. Whether served hot from the oven or reheated later, these biscuits bring a comforting, homemade taste to any table.
