Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 3/4 cup Greek yogurt (plain, full-fat)
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup diced cooked ham
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 tbsp chopped chives (optional)
- 2 tbsp milk (if needed for dough consistency)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and garlic powder.
- Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt and eggs until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir until just combined.
- Fold in the diced ham, shredded cheddar, and chives.
- If the dough is too dry, add milk one tablespoon at a time until it comes together.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and pat into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Cut into 8–10 biscuits using a biscuit cutter or knife.
- Place biscuits on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15–18 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
- Let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Use pre-cooked ham for convenience.
- Substitute Greek yogurt with buttermilk for a tangier flavor.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
