Welcome to Freezer Foods Friday! Started by a fantasic blogger, FFF is an event where bloggers post a freezer recipe and we all get the hook-up with links to everyone’s great recipes! To see what it’s all about or to get more recipes visit: What A Crock!

Ham and Cheese Scones

These are a healthy and tasty breakfast that can be made ahead of time and frozen for breakfasts on demand! (If you are following the Weight Watcher diet plan like I am – these work out to be around 4 pts per serving!) These are great for toddlers as well, as it’s a not-too-messy all in one type of meal that can be enjoyed on the go! Toddler approved!

  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 1/2 cup whole-grain wheat flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 3 tablespoons margarine, chilled,cut into pieces
  • 3/4 cup shredded low-fat cheddar cheese
  • 1/3 cup cooked ham, cubed or chopped
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • 2 large egg whites
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • cooking spray

    • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

    Coat a metal baking sheet with cooking spray and set aside.
    Combine first 2 Flours, baking powder and sugar in a large bowl.
    Cut in margarine with a pastry blender or fork until mixture resembles coarse meal; stir in cheese and ham. In a separate bowl, whisk together buttermilk and egg whites with a fork. Add milk mixture to flour mixture, stirring just until moist. Place dough onto lightly floured surface; knead 5 to 6 times. Place dough on baking sheet and pat into 8-inch circle; cut dough into 8 wedges; This will make traditional scone shapes. However – we like to mold ours into stars and hearts for the kids! You can do this free-hand or use large cookie cutters/molds.

    Bake until slightly browned; about 15 minutes.

    Cool – flash-freeze, place in freezer bags. Heat up in toaster oven or microwave, I don’t find that thawing is really needed!
