Ham and Cheese Buttermilk Biscuits

Buttermilk biscuits will always be a guilty pleasure of mine. I love everything about them, especially how flaky and buttery they are. Our version today are these Ham and Cheese Buttermilk Biscuits, that are also studded with bits of chives. I love eating them as a snack on their own, with some soft, creamy butter and honey or just dipping them in a savory chowder. These are all butter biscuits which means they’re extra flaky. The extra bits in them just make them that much better and even more snack-able. I also love biscuits because they freeze really well, which is great if you have a small household, so you don’t need to feel pressured to bake the entire batch at once. Enjoy! xx, Jenny
