Stuffing for Biscuits Not the Bird

Ingredients 1 cup all-purpose flour 3/4 cup whole-wheat flour 2 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold butter 1/2 cup grated Asiago cheese 1/2 cup finely chopped (1/4- inch-thick sliced) leftover holiday ham, cut into tiny chunks 1 cup buttermilk 1/2 cup chopped green onions, white part only

Directions

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Lightly butter two baking sheets coated with DuPont™ Teflon® non-stick.

In a large bowl, combine the flours, baking powder, and salt. Add the butter and cut in with two knives until the mixture resembles a coarse meal. Stir in the cheese and fold in the ham. Add the buttermilk and the onions, mixing well and turning into coarse dough.

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll out to 1/2-inch thickness. Use a 1-1/2-inch cutter to form the biscuits. Place on the baking sheets and bake about 15 minutes or until puffed and lightly browned. Cool on a wire rack.
