This recipe from Good Lookin’ Cookin’ by Dolly Parton and Rachel Parton George is simple to make but big on authentic flavor. Slice the biscuits in half and sandwich them with country ham cooked in bacon grease. Level Beginner Prep Time 10 minutes Cook Time 20 minutes Serves 6 Cook it With Our 8 Inch Dolly Parton Skillet Ingredients Buttermilk Biscuits ¼ cup shortening, plus more for greasing 3 cups all-purpose flour, preferably King Arthur, plus more for dusting 1 tablespoon sugar 1 tablespoon baking powder 1 teaspoon salt ½ teaspoon cream of tartar 1¼ cups whole buttermilk, well shaken ½ cup (1 stick) butter, very cold and cut into ½-inch pieces Ham 1 teaspoon bacon grease or shortening 3 slices country ham Directions To make the biscuits, preheat the oven to 425°F. Grease an 8-inch cast iron skillet or a similar size baking dish with shortening. In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a food processor, sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cream of tartar. Mix or process a few times to thoroughly combine the dry ingredients. Cut the butter and shortening into the flour mixture by hand using a pastry cutter or pulse them in the food processor just until you get a crumbly consistency. If you’re using a food processor, transfer the dough to a large mixing bowl and add the buttermilk. Gently stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix. Place the dough on a floured work surface and, with floured hands, gently pat the dough to a 2-inch thickness. Using a 2½-inch biscuit cutter, cut out 6 to 8 biscuits. Transfer to the greased skillet or baking pan, arranging to fit. Bake until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove biscuits from the oven and allow to cool 5 minutes. While the biscuits are baking, make the ham. Add the grease or shortening to a cast-iron skillet. Do not trim any fat from the ham before frying. Melt the grease over medium heat, then add ham slices to the skillet. Fry over medium heat until the edges are brown, a few minutes per side. Remove the ham from the skillet and place the slices on a paper towel–lined plate to drain. Cut the ham slices in half. To serve, split each biscuit in half and sandwich a piece of ham between the top and bottom.
