Instructions

For the Ham Steaks
In a bowl combine the butter, molasses, pecans and salt. Mix until thoroughly combined.

Heat a skillet over medium heat. When the pan is hot, add the ham and sear for 4 to 5 minutes on each side. Remove the ham from the pan and set aside. Stir in the coffee. Bring the liquid to a simmer and cook for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat.

To serve, split open the biscuits. Butter the bottom half of each biscuit.
Cut the ham into 6 portions. Spoon the gravy over the ham.

For the Sweet Potato Biscuits
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.

Grease a 1/2-sheet pan. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar. Add the butter, and with your hands, work the butter into the flour mixture until the mixture resembles a coarse cornmeal. Stir in the sweet potatoes and pecans. Add the half-and-half, a little at a time until soft dough is formed. Lightly flour a surface. Place the dough onto the surface and dust the top with flour.

Lightly press the dough out to 1/2-inch thickness. Using a 2-inch biscuit cutter, cut the biscuits into rounds. Place the biscuits on a greased baking sheet and bake for about 15 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown.
