# Ingredients:

1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
02 -
115g diced ham
03 -
115g shredded cheddar cheese
04 -
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
05 -
1 stick (113g) unsalted butter, chilled and chopped up
06 -
2 tablespoons whole milk
07 -
1/2 cup plain yogurt, full-fat
08 -
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
09 -
1/3 cup scallions, finely chopped
10 -
1 tablespoon baking powder
11 -
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
12 -
1/4 teaspoon salt
13 -
1 large egg, beaten and at room temp
# Instructions:
01 -
Turn on your oven and set it to 200°C. Place parchment paper on a large tray and leave it aside.
02 -
Put the flour, brown sugar, salt, pepper, baking powder, and baking soda in a big bowl. Mix them up well.
03 -
Take the cold, diced butter and rub it into the dry mix with your hands until you see a crumbly texture.
04 -
In a small mixing bowl, stir together the milk, yogurt, and egg until it all looks smooth.
05 -
Pour the wet mixture into the dry stuff and use a fork to toss it all together. Don’t overmix—just get it combined.
06 -
Gently stir in the chopped ham, cheese, and scallions, making sure they’re spread throughout the dough.
07 -
Put the dough on a floured surface and pat it into a circle about 8 inches wide. Slice this into 8 pizza-style wedges and move them to your tray.
08 -
Let the scones bake for about 18 to 20 minutes or until the tops turn a light golden shade.
09 -
Let them sit on the tray for 5 minutes to cool down, then serve them while still warm.
# Notes:
01 -
These cheesy ham scones taste best warm and fresh but can last up to 2 days in a sealed container.
