Directions

  1. PREHEAT oven to 425°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. PREPARE the biscuits: Place flour, baking powder, and 1 teaspoon salt in the bowl of a food processor and pulse to combine. Add 12 tablespoons cold butter and pulse until the butter is pea-sized. Add cheese, prosciutto, and chives and pulse to combine. Add buttermilk (or milk) and egg; pulse until a shaggy dough forms.

  3. TURN the dough out onto a generously floured surface. Knead gently, adding more flour if necessary, until a soft dough forms. Roll the dough into a ¾-inch-thick circle, about 10 inches wide.

  4. CUT the dough using a 2½-inch biscuit cutter or floured glass, making as many biscuits as you can and place on the prepared pan. Gather the remaining dough and re-roll into a ¾-inch-thick circle. Repeat cutting into biscuits until you’ve used up all the dough.

  5. BAKE the biscuits until puffed and golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes.

  6. PREPARE the honey butter: Combine 8 tablespoons butter, honey, hot sauce, and ¼ teaspoon salt in a bowl until smooth.

  7. SERVE the warm biscuits with the hot honey butter.
