# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
Dig in while everything’s warm. Throw on a bit more butter or even some honey if you want it sweeter.
02 -
Give the pan about 5 minutes to rest before you go cutting it into squares. Biscuits will be done when the tops go golden and a toothpick poked in them comes out clean. The sides should be nice and crunchy.
03 -
Use a sharp knife to mark nine squares on top. Bake at 230°C for about 25–30 minutes. Spin the pan around halfway. If the top’s getting too brown, lay some foil over it.
04 -
Use your hands (greased up works great) or a spatula and smooth that sticky dough flat in the buttery pan.
05 -
Pour in the melted butter and tilt the tray to spread it all over the bottom.
06 -
Toss in the cheddar and diced beef ham. Use a gentle hand and fold them in so everything’s dotted around but don’t over-mix.
07 -
Pour the buttermilk into the bowl and lightly stir everything together with a wooden spoon. The dough will be thick and sticky. If things are too dry, splash in a little more buttermilk—maybe 15–30ml.
08 -
Toss your baking powder, sugar, and flour into a big mixing bowl. Give everything a quick whisk to mix it up.
09 -
Crank your oven up to 230°C. Grab a 23x23cm pan and coat with butter or use spray so nothing sticks.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
If you love loads of cheesy goodness, sprinkle on more cheddar or stir in some Parmesan before baking.
02 -
Mix the dough the night before and stash it in the fridge. Pop it in the oven in the morning so it’s warm and fresh.
03 -
No buttermilk? Mix up some regular milk with 15ml lemon juice, wait 5 minutes, and you’re set.
04 -
For single-serve, put dough into muffin tins—bake them for about 15–18 minutes.
