Sunny's Ham and Cheese Biscuits with Honey Dijon Butter
2 cups self-rising flour
1/3 cup shredded Cheddar-jack cheese blend  
3 slices thin deli ham, chopped  
3 tablespoons salted butter, slightly frozen  
1 cup buttermilk  
All-purpose flour, for dusting
Nonstick cooking spray, for the baking sheet, optional
1 stick (8 tablespoons) salted butter, softened
2 tablespoons honey  
1 tablespoon whole-grain Dijon mustard  
Blackberry or raspberry preserves, for serving
Instructions:
For the biscuits: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Place the self-rising flour in a large bowl and toss with the cheese and ham. Grate the butter into the flour mixture. Pour in the buttermilk and mix gently with a wooden spoon. Once the dough comes together, turn it out onto a floured surface, divide it into 8 equal balls and pat them down lightly.
Put the balls in a cast-iron pan or on a baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray. Bake until brown, 20 to 25 minutes.
For the butter: In a bowl, mix together the butter, honey and mustard.
When the biscuits are done, brush some of the butter over the tops. Serve the biscuits with the remaining butter and the preserves.
