1-First, preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit and spray an oven-safe glass or ceramic 9×9-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. This sets the stage for even baking and helps prevent sticking, making cleanup easier too.

2-Next, in a medium bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and baking powder until they’re well mixed. This step ensures your biscuits rise properly and have that light texture we all enjoy.

3-Then, pour in the buttermilk and stir until a sticky batter forms; add more if needed to get the right consistency. Gently stir in the diced ham and shredded cheese until everything is evenly mixed, adding that savory punch to every bite.

4-After that, melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl and pour it into the prepared baking dish. Now, pour the biscuit dough over the melted butter, spreading it evenly spraying your hands with nonstick spray can make this step less messy.

5-Cut the dough into 9 squares right in the dish before baking. Pop it into the oven on the middle rack for 25-30 minutes, rotating once and covering with foil if it browns too quickly, until it’s golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.

6-Finally, let the biscuits cool a bit, then slice and serve them warm for the best flavor. For more baking tips, you might like our cinnamon streusel coffee cake recipe, which shares similar prep techniques.
