Ham.
Ingredients:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 Tbsp baking powder
- 2 Tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp cream of tartar
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1/2 cup solid vegetable shortening
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into chunks
- 1 cup buttermilk, at room temperature
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375°F. In a food processor, combine the flour, baking powder,
sugar, salt, cream of tartar, and cayenne pepper. Add the shortening and butter
and pulse until the mixture forms coarse crumbs. Add 1 cup of the buttermilk
and pulse until a firm dough forms. Add a bit more buttermilk if the dough
is too thick.
Knead the dough 8 to 10 times. Roll into a 1/2" thickness. Cut the dough
into rounds. Bake on a greased cookie sheet 13-15 minutes.
