Ham cheese and bacon scones

400° oven, preheated

2 1/2 cups AP flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tbsp onion powder
1 tbsp garlic powder

1/4 cup light brown sugar no lumps
1/2 cup very cold butter
1 large egg
1/2 cup plain yogurt
2 tbsp a butter milk
1/3 cup chopped ham
1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Swiss whatever)
1/4 cup bacon bits


Mix all dry ingredients together in a large bowl.
Cut in cold butter and use your hands (or pastry knife) to turn into sand like crumble. I always started out with a pastry knife and give up and use my hands because it works better and I can get a good idea on the consistency. You have to work quickly if you use you hand as the heat from your hands can melt the butter.
Mix together wet ingredients and then dump into sand mixture and mix until just combined.

Add in the cheese and meats and fold in using your hands. Again it's just easier and quicker and you'll need your hands in the next step anyhow.
Dump on parchment paper
Form into disks and cut into 8's or more depending on desired scone size.
You can form into 2 smaller disks if you don't want monster scones.

Bake for 20-25 minutes
