Ingredients

2.5 cups all-purpose flour (plus a little for dusting) ($0.26)

1 tsp salt ($0.05)

1/2 Tbsp sugar ($0.02)

4 tsp baking powder ($0.16)

1 pint heavy cream ($1.69*)

6 slices cheese ($1.03)

12 slices deli ham ($1.59**)

Instructions

1 Preheat the oven to 400ºF. In a large bowl combine the flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder. Stir until they are very well combined.

2 Pour the heavy cream into the bowl and stir until all of the flour is moistened and a thick ball of dough forms.

3 Scrape the biscuit dough out of the bowl onto a well floured surface and press it down into a rough rectangle. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough out into a rectangle about 8x11 inches and about 1/2-inch thick. Cut the rectangle into 12 pieces.

4 Stack one slice of cheese and two slices of ham onto 6 of the biscuit squares, then top with the remaining 6 biscuit squares. Place the Ham and Cheese Biscuits onto a baking sheet covered in parchment paper and transfer to the preheated oven.

5 Bake the Ham and Cheese Biscuits for about 25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top. Serve hot.
