Ingredients
-
2 cups all-purpose flour
-
1 tablespoon white sugar
-
2 teaspoons baking powder
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
3/4 cup butter
-
3/4 cup cooked ham, cut into 1/4-inch dice
-
3/4 cup grated Gruyère cheese, grated using large holes on grater
-
1/2 cup heavy cream, or more as needed
-
1 large egg, beaten
-
1 teaspoon water
-
1 pinch salt
Directions
-
Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Use a pastry cutter to cut butter into flour mixture until it resembles rice or coarse meal. Stir in ham and Gruyère until evenly mixed.
-
Moisten flour mixture with cream, until dough begins to come together. Add a bit more cream, milk, or water if dough seems dry.
-
Turn out on a floured work surface and fold dough onto itself. Gently stretch dough, turning and folding 3 or 4 times. Lightly flour a rolling pin and roll dough out 1/2- to 3/4-inch thick, turning dough a quarter turn occasionally.
-
Cut scones with a lightly floured 3-inch biscuit cutter; press cutter straight down, without twisting. Pat dough scraps together and cut as needed. Line a baking sheet with parchment; place cut scones on the sheet.
-
Whisk egg, water, and pinch salt together in a small bowl. Brush tops of scones with egg wash, and refrigerate for about 20 minutes.
-
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (235 degrees C). Brush the top of the scones with the egg mixture again.
-
Bake scones in the center of the preheated oven until tops are crispy and lightly browned, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
