Who doesn't love a fluffy homemade buttermilk biscuit? Ok, so who wants a simple to make fluffy homemade buttermilk biscuit with chunks of ham and cheese? These Ham and Cheese Biscuits are everything you'd ever want in a biscuit!

Biscuits, the weekend breakfast staple in my home growing up. My momma or daddy would whip up a batch of biscuits, fry sausage, bacon, and fried eggs on weekend mornings.

This was something that I could always count on waking up too. The smell of bacon cooking is always a great thing to wake up too. Even for a teenager at 9am on the weekends!

I would eat biscuits with grape jelly, sometimes going for sausage instead, and sometimes going for double meat with sausage and bacon. Ohhh, the meat! Haha.

After growing up, homemade biscuits became a thing of the past. I would buy frozen ones and the ones that pop from a can.

I was sure that I would never be able to make fluffy biscuits, and I never tried until Kelsie was diagnosed with food allergies.

After that it was either try and make biscuits myself or do without, because she couldn't have any from a can or the frozen food section.

In 2014 I tempted to make biscuits, and they were amazing (Fluffy Homemade Buttermilk Biscuits)!

I followed directions from a wonderful food blogger, Minimalist Baker! The key is to not handle them too much.

Literally fold over about five time total, and you get fluffy biscuits, and not rocks.

Since that time, I've been making biscuits for weekend breakfasts and weeknight dinners. <<--- You know those nights when you have breakfast for dinner.

I've also tried different variations on that same recipe. After all, they were perfect. They seriously reminded me of the biscuits that my grandmother used to make when I was growing up.

Nobody can beat my Mammie's cooking!

I've made Cheese and Sausage Biscuits, Jalapeno Cheddar Biscuits, and Country Style Biscuits with Sausage Gravy! And now I've made Ham and Cheese Biscuits that put them all to shame! Hahaha.

Well not really, but these are the best freaking tasting biscuits ever!

These guys are stuffed with chunks of ham, shredded sharp cheddar cheese, and chives. They taste out of this world.

How do you make fluffy biscuits?

The key to fluffy biscuits is, don't handle the dough too much.

If you get the dough to barely come together, then plop it onto a floured surface, fold it over a few times, it will be ready to go! No need to go crazy pounding it out, rolling it crazy, or kneading it like mad.

Ham and Cheese Biscuits serving ideas:

They are perfect on their own, and even butter with butter!

All I can think of for all of you egg lovers out there...an over easy egg on a split biscuit.

And guess what y'all...these are simple to make. Like really simple. Just remember don't handle to dough too much, and your biscuits will be fluffy too!
