To make Ham and Cheese Scones, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 400 °F and line a large baking sheet with baking parchment paper.
In a large bowl whisk 2½ cups of flour, ½ teaspoon of salt, ¼ teaspoon of ground black pepper, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, ½ teaspoon of baking soda, and ⅓ cup of brown sugar until well combined.
Crumble 1 stick of very cold unsalted butter by cutting into small cubes and using your fingers to crumble into a coarse meal.
In a small bowl whisk 1 large egg, ½ cup of plain yogurt, and 2 tablespoons of whole milk until well beaten and combined.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and use a fork to mix everything until just combined.
Gently fold in 4 ounces of shredded Cheddar cheese, 4 ounces of diced ham and ⅓ cup of chopped scallions until evenly combined into the dough.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface into an 8-inch round shape. Cut into 8 wedges and transfer to the lined baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes until lightly golden brown and baked through.
Cool for about 5 minutes then serve warm.

I absolutely love savory scones and these would be so perfect for an Easter brunch table!
I attempted to make these and they turned out to be a little bit on the hard side after I've baked them, nonetheless they still had an amazing taste despite the hard crunchiness.
I usually am too lazy to make anything but cereal in the morning, but for the first time I actually cooked something up and it just happened to be the best decision I've made in a long time!, these turned out DELICIOUS!
These scones are amazing. This was my first time making savory scones and I wasn’t sure what I would think of them but these are delicious!
Really enjoyed these cheesy scones. They came together super fast! Great way to use up ham leftovers.
Couldn't ask for a better breakfast than this! Turned out wonderfully, really adored these ham scones!
Cooked this up and packed the leftovers for lunch, still tasted good even when it was no longer fresh, really good recipe.
Well done! I love these scones!
