Ham & Pineapple Biscuit Sliders

Ingredients

Biscuits

  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 Tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon coarse salt
  • 6 Tablespoons cold butter, cut into chunks
  • 1 cup cold buttermilk
  • 1 jar Stonewall Kitchen Spicy Honey Mustard

Sliders

  • 10 buttermilk biscuits, purchased or made from the recipe below
  • 10 slices pineapple, roughly the width of your biscuits
  • 1/2 pound thinly sliced deli ham
  • 1 small head of leafy lettuce (Boston or Bibb)

Directions

  1. For the biscuits, preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  2. Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt and put into a food processor with the butter.
  3. Pulse about 5 times until the mixture looks like coarse sand. Transfer to a mixing bowl.
  4. Add the buttermilk and stir until just combined. The dough will be pretty wet looking.
  5. Transfer dough to a floured surface and gently shape it into a rectangle about 1/2-1 inch thick. Fold it over about 5 times or so, ending up with a piece of dough that is about 1-inch thick.
  6. Use a 2-inch round biscuit cutter (or a glass that is about 2 inches wide) to cut out 10 rounds. Place the rounds on a cookie sheet with the sides touching.
  7. Bake them for about 15 minutes, or until they have risen and are golden brown on top. Cool on a rack.
  8. For the sliders, heat the grill or frying pan to high. Quickly sear pineapple on one side until it is slightly charred, about 1-2 minutes (don’t leave it on too much longer as you don’t want it to dry out).
  9. If you are using pre-made biscuits, warm them up for about 15 seconds in the microwave. Slice them horizontally in half with a serrated knife.
  10. Spread the bottom of each biscuit with about 1 Tablespoon of Spicy Honey Mustard. Lay one piece of pineapple over the mustard. Layer on a few slices of ham, folding it gently as you go so that it fits the biscuit. Top with a piece of lettuce and the top half of the biscuit.
