Ingredients
Light Spam
12 ounces (canned)
Whole Cloves
12 (for scoring meat)
Apricot Preserves
1/4 cup (for glazing)
Water
1 teaspoon (for glaze mixture)
Dry Mustard
1/4 teaspoon (for glaze mixture)
Bisquick
1 cup (for biscuit dough)
Water

Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2
Open the can of light Spam and score the top by cutting 12 small squares or diamonds, about 1 inch deep.
3
Insert a whole clove into each of the scored sections of Spam.
4
Place the Spam in an ungreased 8x8x2 inch baking pan, pushing it to one side of the pan to make room for the biscuits.
5
In a small bowl, blend the apricot preserves, 1 teaspoon of water, and dry mustard until smooth. Spoon this mixture over the Spam, ensuring it's generously coated.
6
In another bowl, combine the Bisquick and 1/4 cup of water. Stir with a fork until a soft dough forms.
7
Turn the dough out onto a floured cloth-covered surface and shape it into a ball. Knead the dough gently for about 5 times.
8
Roll out the dough to a thickness of 1/2 inch, then cut it into five 2-inch biscuits. Alternatively, you can drop spoonfuls of dough directly into the pan around the Spam.
9
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the Spam is heated through.
