Ingredients

• 1 cup flour

• 1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
• 1/4 teaspoon onion powder

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450°F.
Combine flour, baking powder, salt, mustard, and onion powder in mixing bowl. Using a pastry blender cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add ham and enough milk to make a soft dough. Turn out onto lightly floured board; knead for about 20 to 30 seconds. Roll out about ¾-inch thick. Cut with small to medium biscuit cutter. Place on lightly greased cookie sheets. Bake for 10 minutes, until golden brown.
