1 1/2 c. flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 c. butter
4 oz. ham, finely chopped
1/2 c. buttermilk

Heat oven to 425 degrees. Have cookie sheet ready. Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Cut in butter to resemble coarse meal. Add ham and buttermilk just until blended. Dough will be slightly sticky. On lightly floured surface, with lightly floured fingers, flatten dough to 3/4 inch thickness. Cut with floured 2 1/2 inch floured biscuit cutter. Place 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Reroll and cut scraps. Bake 15 minutes or until puffed and golden brown. Serve warm. Makes 10 biscuits. Can substitute 1/4 cup crumbled or shredded cheese for ham.
