🧈 Ham & Cheese Butter Biscuits

• 1 tbsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cubed

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Mix dry ingredients:
   In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

3. Cut in butter:
   Add cold butter cubes and cut into the flour using a pastry cutter or your fingers until it resembles coarse crumbs.

4. Add ham & cheese:
   Stir in chopped ham, shredded cheese, and chives/green onions if using.

5. Add buttermilk:
   Pour in the cold buttermilk and stir just until a shaggy dough forms (don’t overmix!).

6. Shape biscuits:
   Turn dough onto a floured surface and gently pat it out to about 1 inch thick. Fold it over once or twice for flaky layers, then pat out again and cut with a biscuit cutter or into squares.

7. Bake:
   Place on the baking sheet and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden.

8. Brush with butter:
   While warm, brush tops with melted butter for that perfect buttery finish.
