Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tbsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp baking soda, and 1 tsp salt.
Step 3: Cut in 6 tbsp cold cubed unsalted butter using a pastry cutter or fingers until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 4: Pour in 3/4 cup cold buttermilk and stir just until dough comes together; do not overmix.
Step 5: Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface, gently pat into a 1-inch thick rectangle, and cut into 8 rounds using a 2.5-inch biscuit cutter.
Step 6: Place biscuits on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
Step 7: Meanwhile, whisk together 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1 tbsp Dijon mustard, 1 tbsp honey, and 1/4 tsp black pepper to make honey mustard spread.
Step 8: Slice warm biscuits in half, spread honey mustard on both halves, layer 1 slice of Virginia ham and 1 slice of sharp cheddar cheese on each, and sandwich together before serving warm.
