Ingredients

• 1 cups flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• ⅛ teaspoon baking soda
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoons shortening
• 1 cup cold whole milk
• Biscuits prepared above or half of a 16 oz container of pre-made biscuits, cut in ¼ths
• 4 eggs
• ¼ cup milk
• ¾ cup shredded white cheddar cheese
• 8 oz country ham, trimmed of fat and diced in 1 inch pieces
• Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

• In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
• Using your fingertips, two knives or a dough cutter, rub butter and shortening into dry ingredients until mixture looks like crumbs. I prefer using a dough cutter (pictured above) because its quicker and the fat wont melt as easy.
• Make a well in the center and pour in the milk. Stir just until the dough comes together. The dough will be very sticky.
• Turn dough onto floured surface, dust top with flour and gently fold dough over on itself 5 or 6 times. Press into a 1-inch thick round and cut into 1 inch squares.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit and spray a casserole dish with cooking spray. (I used a 1-1½ qt baking dish about the size of a loaf pan.)
• Spread cut biscuits in the bottom of the greased casserole dish and distribute the country ham evenly on top.
• Sprinkle ½ of the shredded cheese over the country ham.
• Beat the eggs and milk and pour over the biscuits and ham.
• Sprinkle remaining cheese over the top.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes until the eggs are set.
