Breakfast Ham & Cheese Butter Biscuits

When I was growing up my grandma was in love with KFCs biscuits, so, naturally, every time she visited us we used to take a little trip to our local KCF and endulge in mostly those flaky, butter biscuits. When I thought about veganizing them I wanted to add a couple of extra ingredients to make them even more delicious and filling.

These flaky, buttery, and cheesy biscuits are the perfect for early in the morning, to be a part of your next brunch, or by themselves with some vegan butter. The vegan ham gives them that extra crunch and saltiness that makes them just perfect! You will need a few ingredients that you probably have in your pantry such as flour, vegan butter, and non-dairy milk, as well as your choice of vegan cheese and ham.
