6 ounces thinly sliced dry-cured country ham or prosciutto
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 475°.
- In a large bowl, sift the flour, baking powder and salt. Using a pastry cutter, cut the chilled butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
- Add 3/4 cup milk and combine using a fork. Add more milk as necessary to form a firm, not sticky, dough.
- On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the dough 1/2 inch thick.
- Using a small cookie cutter or juice glass, cut out biscuits; discard the scraps
- Place the biscuits an inch apart on ungreased baking sheets and bake until golden, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool.
- Split the biscuits and layer with softened butter, syrup and the ham.
