Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Pour the 8 tablespoons of melted butter into an 8×8 baking dish, making sure the butter spreads evenly across the bottom.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon until well combined.

Pour in the buttermilk and honey. Stir gently until a thick biscuit batter forms. Do not overmix, as that can make the biscuits dense.

Fold in the diced ham and shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Spoon the biscuit dough directly into the baking dish with the melted butter. Spread it gently so the batter touches the edges of the pan.

Using a knife, lightly score the dough into 9 squares. This makes it easier to cut the biscuits after baking.

Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges look crisp.

While the biscuits are baking, mix together 2 tablespoons melted butter, honey, cinnamon, and salt in a small bowl.

Once the biscuits come out of the oven, brush the honey butter mixture over the top while they are still warm.
