Directions:
Heat the oven to 400 F. Prepare a baking sheet with parchment.
In a large mixing bowl, add the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Stir to combine
Cut in the cold cubed butter with two knives until the butter is in pea-sized pieces, or use a pastry blender.
Add in the ham, cheese, and herbs, and stir to combine.
Add the cream and stir to combine all the dry ingredients. If the mixture is too dry add a small amount of extra cream.
Turn the dough out on a floured board and bring together. Pat into a 7" round disk or a small rectangle. Cut the dough into eight triangles and transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with cream.
Optionally, cut the scones into your desired shapes like rounds or squares.
Bake for 22 to 25 minutes, until the scones are golden brown.
Serve the scones warm so the cheese is still soft and melted.
If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container and refrigerate.
Reheat the leftover scones by wrapping them in foil and heating in a 300° oven until warmed
Try these variations:
Use fried crumbled bacon instead of ham.
Use your favorite cheese or mix some cheese.
Use your favorite herbs, or you can leave them out.
