What You’ll Need

1 cup Daily's® ham steak, diced

2 1/4 cups flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes, plus more for the baking sheet (3/4 stick)
1 1/2 cups smoked Gouda, coarsely shredded (about 4 1/2 oz.)
1/4 cup chives, chopped
1 1/4 cups plain yogurt, (low-fat is okay)

For the Maple Butter
1 cup unsalted butter, softened (2 sticks)
2 tablespoons maple syrup
pinch of salt

Directions

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Butter a large baking sheet (or coat it with nonstick spray). 

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and baking soda. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to add the butter, working the mixture until it resembles a coarse meal. Stir in the ham, cheese and chives. Add the yogurt, stirring until just combined. 

Drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet in 12 equal mounds, about 1 inch apart. Bake until golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes. 

Meanwhile, make the Maple Butter: in a medium bowl, combine the butter and maple syrup. Add salt to taste and transfer to a serving bowl. 

Serve the biscuits with Maple Butter on the side.

12 biscuits (Nutritional information includes 1 teaspoon maple butter per biscuit)

*Use a ham steak, as opposed to deli-style sliced ham, for meaty cubes. You can find ham steaks in the deli section of most supermarkets.
