Flaky, buttery, super delicious ham and cheese scones! Perfect for breakfast, brunch, snack time, or dinner.

Ingredients

• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/3 cup light brown sugar, packed
• 1 stick (4 ounces) unsalted butter, VERY cold and cut into tiny pieces
• 1 large egg, at room temperature, beaten
• 1/2 cup plain full-fat yogurt
• 2 tablespoons whole Milk
• 4 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded
• 4 ounces ham, diced
• 1/3 cup scallions, chopped

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°(F). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
2. In a large bowl add the flour, salt, pepper, baking powder, baking soda, and brown sugar; mix well to combine. Cut the butter into small cubes then quickly work it into the mixture (using your fingers) until it resembles a coarse meal. Set aside. In a small bowl whisk together the egg, yogurt, and milk, beating well to combine. Add the liquid mixture to dry and use a fork to stir everything together until just moistened.
3. Add in the cheese, ham, and scallions and gently fold them into dough with a spatula.
4. Pour the shaggy dough out onto a clean, floured work surface and shape the dough into an 8-inch circle. Cut the dough into 8 wedges and carefully transfer to the prepared sheet.
5. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden brown.
6. Cool for 5 minutes on the tray, then serve warm.
