Smithfield Product: Spiral Ham, All Other Ham

Ingredients

• Filling:
• 1 cup Smithfield Ham (any ham will work except Smithfield Country Ham, which is too salty)
• 4 tablespoons butter (1/2 stick)
• Biscuits:
• 2 cups self-rising flour, plus more for dusting
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
• Preheat oven to 500 degrees F.

Steps

Biscuits:
In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, and cream until the dough forms a ball. Turn the dough out onto a surface dusted with additional flour. Fold the dough in 1/2 and knead 5 to 7 times, adding just enough flour to keep dough from sticking to your hands. Gently roll out dough to 1/2-inch thickness. Using a 3-inch biscuit cutter coated with flour, cut dough into biscuits. Place on baking sheet coated with cooking spray, leaving at least 1-inch between each biscuit. Bake for 10 minutes, or until golden brown.

Filling:
In a food processor, grind ham into small pieces. Add butter and pulse until combined. Split hot biscuits in 1/2, and fill each biscuit with about 1 tablespoon of the ham mixture.
