The Food of Downton Abbey: Ham and Cheese Bread (Biscuits)

Have you ever had a dinner party and had leftovers? Well, the same thing happened at the Abbey's and what the cook would do with the leftovers is make food for the downstairs staff. If one of those leftovers were ham, then Ham and Cheese Bread (biscuits) would be on the menu.

In doing the pictures for Ham and Cheese Bread (biscuits), we decided to make them just as Mrs. Patmore would. We used a whisk, a pastry blender (pastry fork) and kneaded the dough by hand. It is kind of fun!

The cheese used for this bread (biscuit) would have been a natural Cheddar, which is white in color and not the orange you find in markets today. And yes, if you're in America, you are allowed to call these a biscuit!
