    Ingredients

    • Non-Stick cooking spray
    • 1-1/2 cups cups all-purpose flour + 2 tbsp, divided
    • 1-1/4 cups white whole-wheat flour
    • 1 tbsp + 1 tsp baking powder
    • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
    • 1/2 tsp salt
    • 5 tbsp cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2" cubes
    • 1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
    • 1/4 cup chopped Black Forest ham
    • 1/4 cup thinly sliced fresh chives
    • 1 cup reduced-fat milk or buttermilk
    • 1 large egg

    Directions

    1. Preheat oven to 400° F. Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray.
    2. Whisk together the 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour, the whole-wheat flour, baking powder, sugar and salt in a large bowl. Using a pastry blender or your fingertips, cut or rub butter into the dry ingredients. Stir in the cheese, ham and chives.
    3. Whisk together milk (or buttermilk) and egg in a medium size bowl; stir into the dry ingredients until just combined.
    4. Sprinkle a work surface with 1 tablespoon of flour. Turn the dough out and sprinkle the top with the remaining 1 tablespoon flour. Knead three to five times, or until the dough just comes together. Divide in half and pat each piece into a 5-inch circle. Cut each circle into 6 wedges and transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
    5. Bake until firm to the touch, 18 to 24 minutes.
