Ham and Cheese Biscuits

Ingredients

• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 Tbsp sugar
• 4 tsp baking powder
• 1 pint heavy cream
• 6 slices cheese
• 12 slices deli ham

Directions

1. Heat the oven to 400ºF. Add the flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder to a large bowl, then stir them together thoroughly.
2. Pour in the heavy cream and mix until the dry bits are all damp and the dough gathers into a thick ball.
3. Turn the dough out onto a well floured surface. Pat it into a loose rectangle, then use a rolling pin to make it about 8x11 inches and about 1/2-inch thick. Slice the rectangle into 12 pieces.
4. Layer 1 slice of cheese and 2 slices of ham on each of 6 biscuit squares. Cover them with the remaining 6 biscuit squares.
5. Set the Ham and Cheese Biscuits on a parchment-lined baking sheet, then move the pan to the hot oven. Bake for about 25 minutes, until the tops are golden brown. Serve hot.
