Betty's Traditional Kentucky Country Ham Biscuits Recipe

In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make a Kentucky favorite--Traditional Country Ham Biscuits. She also adds a sweet treat to serve on the side!

Ingredients:

2 cups self-rising flour
1/2 stick butter or margarine
2/3 to 3/4 cup milk

Place 2 cups flour in a large mixing bowl. Add butter or margarine. With a fork or pastry blender, cut butter into flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gently push the flour mixture to the edges of the bowl, making a well in the center. Pour the milk (a little at a time) into the well, and blend the milk into the flour mixture, until it forms a ball. Do not over-mix. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead gently 10 to 12 times. On a lightly floured surface, pat or roll dough to approximately 1/2-inch thickness. Cut with a 2-inch biscuit cutter, butter tops and bottoms, and place on a baking pan. Bake in an oven that has been preheated to 450 degrees for 6 to 8 minutes. Place about (3) 2-inch squares of country ham in each biscuit and arrange in a nice pattern on a serving platter. Enjoy!

Country Brown Sugar-Butter Filling for biscuits:

2 tablespoons butter, softened to room temperature
1/2 cup brown sugar

With a fork, mash and blend brown sugar into softened butter. Place in a small serving bowl, and serve as a filling for fresh, hot biscuits...Yum!!!

Hi again betty, quick question, whenever I knead the biscuits, is it a good idea to count when i am kneading that way i don't overwork or underwork the biscuit dough and also do you have a recipe to make cheese biscuits? thank you again for all your recipes and ideas:)

[bettyskitchen]

@Tentomon23978 Yes, that is a good idea to count the times you knead the dough. And, yes I do have cheese biscuits in bettyskitchen.

Can you do this with whole wheat flour or will it not rise?

[bettyskitchen]

@1kash123 You can use whole wheat flour; it's a little heavier, but if you eat whole wheat breads regularly, you won't be surprised. It will still rise properly.

a sifter works excellently to flour the counter

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks!  That's a great tip!

Hi betty, thank you for the quick reply, I have one more question, could the country ham biscuits be prepared with bisquick or is it better to prepare them in the method that you did? thank you

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks! You know you don't have to even make that little brown sugar treat! It's just for special occasions. The focus is on the biscuits and country ham!

--Betty :)

Those look awesome! However I can feel the glucose rising just watching you make the brown sugar butter mixture!

Hi Shawn!

I am so glad that you feel confident in making the biscuits! The "spoon rolls" are easier than biscuits, but the "potato rolls" are just the best! I hope my instructions are thorough enough for you to be successful with them! I will be back before too long!
