Recipe: Ham Biscuit Filling and Cream Biscuits for Angie

Ham Biscuit Filling
Recipe courtesy Paula Deen
Yield: about 36 tablespoons, enough to fill about 36 biscuits

1 cup ground cooked country or regular ham
4 tablespoons butter
Cream Biscuits, recipe follows

In a food processor, grind ham into small pieces. Add the butter and pulse until combined. Split hot biscuits in 1/2, and fill each biscuit with about 1 tablespoon of the ham mixture.

Cream Biscuits
2 cups self-rising flour, plus more for dusting
1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
Preheat oven to 500 degrees F.

In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, and cream until the dough forms a ball. Turn the dough out onto a surface dusted with additional flour. Fold the dough in 1/2 and knead 5 to 7 times, adding just enough flour to keep dough from sticking to your hands. Gently roll out dough to 1/2-inch thickness. Using a 3-inch biscuit cutter coated with flour, cut dough into biscuits. Place on baking sheet coated with cooking spray, leaving at least 1-inch between each biscuit. Bake for 10 minutes, or until golden brown.

Yield: 10 to 12 biscuits
