Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425°. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside. Combine flour, baking powder, thyme, sugar, and salt. Cut in butter with a pastry blender or fork until pea-sized. Stir in Gruyère and ham, then stir in 1 cup cream. Turn dough onto a lightly floured work surface, knead just until combined, and pat into an 8-inch square. Cut dough into four squares, then cut each square into four triangles. Arrange scones on prepared baking sheet, spacing 1-inch apart. Brush tops of scones with remaining 2 Tbsp. cream and bake until golden, 20–25 minutes.
