Cheese Biscuits and Country Ham

Loved these, the recipe is for small hors d'oeuvres, but increase in size for a heartier bite :)

2 cups all purpose flour
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup cold butter
1 1/2 cups grated cheddar, preferably orange
1 to 2 green onions, very thinly sliced, or 1/4 cup snipped chives
1 cup buttermilk or sour cream
250 g thinly sliced virginia or other mild country ham
2 to 4 tbsp mustard or chutney

1. Arrange rack just above centre of oven; preheat to 450F.
2. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or coat with cooking spray.  Stir flour with baking powder, baking soda and salt.  Using a pastry blender or two knives, cut in butter until only small bits are visible.  Add cheddar and green onions, tossing until evenly distributed.  Pour in buttermilk; stir until dough forms.
3. Turn out onto lightly floured surface; pat until 1/2 inch thick.  Cut with 1 1/2 inch round biscuit or cookie cutter.  Place about an inch apart on baking sheet.  Bake above oven centre for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden.  Cool on a rack.
4. Slice cooled biscuits in half.  Cut or fold ham to fit on bottom half.  Add a dab of mustard or chutney; replace top and serve.  Filled biscuits can be made ahead, covered and refrigerated;; then heated uncovered in a 350F oven for 5 minutes.
