Fold 1/2 cup of shredded sharp cheddar cheese into the dough along with the buttermilk.
Add 2 tablespoons of finely chopped fresh chives or 1 tablespoon of chopped rosemary to the dry ingredients.
Spread a thin layer of apple butter, fig jam, or a drizzle of honey on the biscuit before adding the ham for a sweet and salty contrast.
After cooking the ham, remove it from the skillet and deglaze the pan with 1/4 cup of black coffee, scraping up any browned bits. Simmer for a minute and drizzle over the ham in the biscuit.
