Max, no Derby Breakfast would be complete with thin sliced Country Ham and Biscuits. In the old days that would have been Beaten Biscuits and real Country Ham, but let’s face it, not many people today have the time or the inclination to prepare either of these time and labor intensive recipes. Most people substitute a regular or spiral cut ham with a brown sugar type glaze and regular baking powder biscuits or tiny yeast rolls. With these Ham Biscuits some hostesses serve another Kentucky favorite: Bourbon Honey Mustard.
Bourbon Honey Mustard:
¾ cup Dijon style mustard
¼ vegetable oil
¼ cup honey
2 tablespoons dry mustard
2 tablespoons good bourbon
Bring all, except bourbon, to just a boil in a sauce pan, stirring constantly. Remove from heat, add bourbon and cool. Spoon into a heavy crock with tight lid. Store in the refrigerator, but serve at room temperature.
This makes about a cup and a quarter and is both spicy and sweet. This is also good on turkey or chicken sandwiches. Heck, this would make even a bologna sandwich taste good!
