Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment.

  2. Combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a food processor by pulsing.

  3. Add the butter and 1/2 cup of Cheddar cheese to the mixture in the food processor. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse meal with small bits of butter.

  4. Add the buttermilk to the mixture in the food processor and pulse a few times until the dough just comes together.

  5. Transfer the dough onto a work surface lightly dusted with flour. Pat the dough into a 7-by-7-inch square that is about 1 inch thick.

  6. Place half of the ham and 1/4 cup of Cheddar cheese on one half of the dough. Fold the other half of the dough over the filling like a book and gently pinch the edges to seal.

  7. Pat the dough out again into a 7-by-7-inch square. Scatter the remaining ham and 1/4 cup of cheese on top of the dough and fold it over like a book again. Press once more into a 7-by-7-inch square.

  8. Use a sharp chef's knife to cut the dough into 12 equal rectangular pieces.

  9. Transfer the pieces onto the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops of each piece with additional buttermilk.

  10. Bake in the preheated oven until the biscuits are puffed and well brown
