Tips & Substitutions

For a richer flavor, consider using a combination of butter and margarine. If you don’t have cream cheese, mascarpone can be a suitable substitute. You can also experiment with different types of ham, such as smoked or honey-glazed, to enhance the taste. Adding spices like paprika or cayenne can give the biscuits a little kick. Remember, the dough should be rolled out evenly to ensure consistent baking.

Serving Suggestions

Serve these delightful biscuits warm as an appetizer or snack at your next gathering. They pair beautifully with a fresh salad or a dipping sauce, such as honey mustard. For a complete meal, enjoy them alongside a hearty soup or the classic Catfish And Slaw Sandwiches. These biscuits also make a great addition to a Breakfast Brunch Dish.

Storage & Reheating

Store any leftover ham filled party biscuits in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes until warmed through. For a crispy texture, consider reheating in an air fryer for a few minutes instead.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make the dough ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the dough a day in advance. After shaping it into a ball, wrap it tightly in waxed paper and store it in the refrigerator. When ready to use, simply roll it out and fill it as per the recipe instructions.

What can I use instead of brown sugar?

If you don’t have brown sugar, you can substitute it with white sugar mixed with a small amount of molasses or honey for a similar flavor. Alternatively, coconut sugar or maple sugar can be used as a natural sweetener.

Can these biscuits be frozen?

Absolutely! After cutting the biscuits, arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Then transfer them to a freezer bag. They can be baked directly from frozen; just add a few extra minutes to the baking time.
