Ingredients

2 1/4 cups self rising flour
1 tsp granulated garlic
1 tsp ground mustard
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp cayenne
1/3 cup frozen unsalted butter grated
1 1/2 cup buttermilk (well shaken)
2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 cup chopped fully cooked country ham
2 Tbsp chopped fresh chives plus additional for garnishing
2 Tbsp melted butter to brush tops
sweet hot mustard or maple syrup for serving

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a medium size mixing bowl, use a whisk to sift together flour, garlic, mustard, onion powder and cayenne. Add grated butter, mixing until evenly distributed. To the bowl add buttermilk, mix well.
Once dough is formed, add cheese, ham and chives. Use a non stick spatula to gently mix through the dough until fully combined.
Drop by tablespoon onto pan, leaving 2 inches between. Brush tops with melted butter. Bake for 20-22 minutes or until lightly golden. (Adjust bake time according to size)
Brush again with melted butter and serve with sweet hot mustard or maple syrup, if desired.

Notes

Make your own Self Rising Flour: To the same amount of all purpose flour, add 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon baking soda.
