Preparation
- Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups flour, baking soda, salt and baking powder. Mix well. Add the butter and buttermilk, and knead lightly by hand to make a cohesive dough.
- Step 2
Sprinkle a work surface with flour, and turn the dough onto it. Knead with the heel of the hand about six times; do not overhandle. Roll out into a flat circle about ¾-inch thick. Use a Champagne flute or biscuit cutter to press into 12 circles about 2 to 2 ½ inches in diameter. If desired, reroll the scraps of dough to make into biscuits.
- Step 3
Arrange the biscuits on a cookie sheet, and bake until lightly browned, 12 to 14 minutes. Remove from heat and cool slightly. To serve, split the biscuits in half and butter each cut side. Insert a slice of ham between the halves, and close. If desired, reheat in the oven for 2 to 3 minutes. Serve warm.

Easy-peasy. Nice crumb. Final assembly of a double recipe took a little time to get right. Your guests will think you love them. It's the Kerrygold.
