This is a great way to use leftover ham…in fact, a friend of mine thinks it’s one of the best ham dishes she’s ever tried. I learned to love cooking while working alongside my mother, who owned a lodge and fast-food stand.

- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3-1/2 teaspoons baking powder

- 1/2 cup shortening
- 1 egg
- 3/4 cup milk
- FILLING:
- 2-1/2 cups ground fully cooked ham
- 1 small onion, finely chopped

Directions:
In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Combine egg and milk; stir into crumb mixture just until moistened. Turn onto a floured surface; knead 12 times. Roll into a 12-in. x 10-in. rectangle.
Combine the filling ingredients; spread over dough to within 1/2 in. of edges. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a long side; pinch seam to seal. Cut into 1-in. slices.
Place cut side down on a greased baking sheet. Bake at 425° for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, melt butter. Stir in flour, salt and white pepper until smooth. Gradually add milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat; stir in cheese until melted. Serve with ham slices. Yield: 12 slices.
