How To Make savory scones- gruyere, prosciutto and green onion

• 1

  In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Using a pastry cutter, cut the butter into the flour mixture, until you have course crumbs. This can also be done with two knives or a food processor.

  Whisk the eggs lightly and combine with the buttermilk. Add to the flour mixture ad stir until just moist.

  In a small bowl, mix together the Gruyere, prosciutto, Parmesan and green onion. Add this to the batter, then mix lightly. The dough will be sticky.

  On a lightly floured surface, turn the sticky dough out and knead lightly until all the cheese, prosciutto and green onion are incorporated into the dough. Roll the dough 3/4 inch thick. Cut out 3 inch squares, then cut diagonally to make triangles. You should have about 10 scones.

  Place the scones on a baking sheet lined with parchment or a silicone mat, and lightly brush with half and half. Sprinkle with sea salt. Place the scones in the freezer for 30 minutes.
