Ingredients
  

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

¾ cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1 cup diced ham

1 cup buttermilk

½ cup unsalted butter, melted (plus extra for greasing)

Fresh chives or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat Your Oven: Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with a little butter to prevent sticking.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

      Add Cheese and Ham: Gently fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and diced ham to the flour mixture, ensuring an even distribution.

        Incorporate Wet Ingredients: Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the buttermilk and melted butter. Stir until just combined; be careful not to overmix. The dough should be slightly wet and sticky.

          Transfer to Baking Dish: Use a spoon or spatula to scoop the biscuit dough into the prepared baking dish. The dough does not need to be shaped into individual biscuits; you can simply drop spoonfuls into the dish, spreading it out evenly.

            Add Butter Swim: Pour the remaining melted butter over the biscuit dough evenly, ensuring that it seeps into the cracks and crevices.

              Bake: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and fully cooked through.

                Garnish and Serve: Once out of the oven, let the biscuits cool for a few minutes. Optionally, sprinkle with fresh chopped chives or parsley for an extra flavor pop. Serve warm, and enjoy the buttery, cheesy goodness!
