Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 8 slices of ham
  • 8 slices of Swiss cheese
  • 1 beaten egg, for egg wash

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Add the cold cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Pour in the milk and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently for about 1 minute.
  6. Roll out the dough into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick.
  7. Place a slice of ham and a slice of Swiss cheese on top of the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
  8. Roll up the dough tightly, starting from the long side, to form a log.
  9. Cut the log into 8 equal slices and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  10. Brush the tops of the biscuits with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
  11. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
  12. Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
  13. Enjoy these delicious ham and Swiss biscuits warm.
