1 c Sour cream

Margarine or butter; melted,
-if desired
Heat oven to 425 degrees. Scramble egg until cooked; cool slightly.
Cut one-four cup margarine into flour in large bowl until mixture
resembles fine crumbs. Stir in buttermilk, sour cream, ham and
scrambled egg until soft dough forms. Turn dough onto lightly floured
surface. Knead 3 or 4 times. Roll dough 3/4 inch thick. Cut with
floured 2 1/2 inch biscuit cutter. Place about 1 inch apart on
ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 11 to 15 minutes or until light golden.
Brush tops with melted margarine. Yield: about 12 biscuits. (For a
cheesy variation, decrease amount of ham to 1 cup and stir in 1/2 cup
cheddar cheese.)
