Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour Spoon and level for accuracy.
  • 1 Tablespoon granulated sugar Adds a touch of sweetness.
  • 2.5 teaspoons baking powder Ensures the scones rise beautifully.
  • 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder Infuses flavor into the dough.
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt Enhances all the flavors.
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper Adds a hint of spice.
  • 3 Tablespoons chopped fresh chives Brings freshness and color.
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese Provides rich, melty goodness.
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter Frozen for flakiness in texture.
  • 2/3 cup cold buttermilk Makes the scones tender and moist.
  • 1 large egg Separated to enrich the dough and glaze the tops.
  • 3/4 cup finely chopped chicken ham The star protein ingredient.
  • optional flaky sea salt For an extra burst of flavor on top.

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Prepare Dry Ingredients - Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a large bowl until evenly mixed. Stir in the chopped chives and shredded cheese.
  2. Step 2: Incorporate Butter - Grate the frozen butter into your dry mixture. Combine until you achieve a crumbly consistency resembling pea-sized crumbs.
  3. Step 3: Mix Wet Ingredients - In a separate bowl, whisk together buttermilk and the egg yolk. Pour this mixture over your flour blend along with the chopped chicken ham and gently mix until everything clumps together.
  4. Step 4: Shape Dough - Transfer your dough onto a lightly floured work surface and shape it into a ball. Press it into an 8-inch disc and cut into wedges.
  5. Step 5: Chill and Bake - Brush the shaped scones with egg wash and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes. Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C) and bake until golden brown, about 22-25 minutes.
