Name: Ham Biscuits
Yield: Makes about 20 ham biscuits
Ingredients: 20 silver dollar-size biscuits; spicy prepared mustard to taste; freshly grated horseradish to taste; 20 pieces thinly sliced baked ham (about 1/2 pound); 2 cups all-purpose flour; 1 tablespoon baking flour; 1 teaspoon salt; 1 tablespoon sugar; 1/4 cup lard; 1/2 to 3/4 cup milk

This is a surefire Southern way to use leftover ham and either leftover or freshly baked biscuits. Sometimes the biscuits are large and the ham pieces merely roughly cut chunks. In this recipe the biscuits are made the size of silver dollars, the ham is thinly sliced and neatly trimmed, and the biscuits are served with tiny dollops of spicy mustard and freshly grated horseradish. Voilà! The "grab 'em and go" breakfast treat that has been imitated by many popular food chains is transmuted into an elegant hors d'oeuvre. Large or small, they're mighty good eating.

Can be prepared in 45 minutes or less.

Silver dollar - size biscuits are the quintessential African-American breakfast bread. They can be prepared in 45 minutes or less.
