Ingredients

Directions

  1. Roast the long green chiles over an open gas flame or under a pre-heated broiler, turning them until they are lightly but evenly charred.
  2. Place the charred chiles in a paper bag or a bowl covered with a plate and let them steam until cool enough to handle.
  3. Rub away the burned peel from the chiles, then stem, seed, and coarsely chop them to yield about 3/4 cup.
  4. In a large skillet over medium-low heat, melt the butter.
  5. Add the ham cubes and cook, stirring constantly, until lightly browned, about 10 minutes.
  6. Sprinkle the flour over the ham cubes and cook, stirring constantly, for 5 minutes to cook out the raw flour taste.
  7. Slowly whisk the milk into the ham mixture, ensuring no lumps form.
  8. Stir in the chopped green chiles and salt.
  9. Raise the heat to medium and bring the mixture to a simmer.
  10. Cook, stirring occasionally and scraping the bottom of the pan, until thickened into a medium gravy, about 7 minutes.
  11. Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt if needed.
  12. Arrange the masa biscuits, split-sides up, on 8 plates.
  13. Spoon the hot gravy over and around the biscuits, using it all.
  14. Serve immediately.
