Ham And Smoked Gouda Biscuits With Maple Butter

• 1 cup ham steak diced
• 2 1/4 cups flour
• 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 teaspoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter cold, cut into 1/2-inch cubes, plus more for the baking sheet, 3/4 stick
• 1 1/2 cups smoked gouda coarsely shredded, about 4 1/2 ounces
• 1/4 cup chives chopped
• 1 1/4 cups yogurt low-fat plain, is okay
• 1 cup unsalted butter softened, 2 sticks
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 1 pinch salt

1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Butter a large baking sheet (or coat it with nonstick spray).
2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and baking soda. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to add the butter, working the mixture until it resembles a coarse meal. Stir in the ham, cheese and chives. Add the yogurt, stirring until just combined.
3. Drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet in 12 equal mounds, about 1 inch apart. Bake until golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, make the Maple Butter: in a medium bowl, combine the butter and maple syrup. Add salt to taste and transfer to a serving bowl.
5. Serve the biscuits with Maple Butter on the side.
