HAM AND CHEESE SCONE SANDWICHES

Steps:

• For the scones: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and kosher salt in a large bowl and whisk together. In the bowl with the Roasted Garlic, add the sour cream and egg. Whisk together and set aside.
• Using your fingers or a pastry blender, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it forms pea-size bits. Toss in the chives. Add the sour cream mixture and mix just until a sticky dough forms. Turn the dough out onto a liberally floured counter and press together to form a 6-by-6-inch square. Trim each side (keep the trimmings and bake off for a little snack) and cut into 9 squares. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush the tops with heavy cream, sprinkle with flaky salt and bake until lightly browned and crackly on top, 15 to 20 minutes.
• For the sandwiches: Split open the scones and toast the insides on a griddle or pan. Spread about 1/2 teaspoon of the apricot jam on each of the toasted sides. On the bottom halves, layer on the ham, cheese and then the tops of the scones and eat right away.
• The scones will keep for a couple days in a plastic bag or airtight container at room temperature. Toast and spread with butter or jam.
• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Slice off the top of the head of garlic, drizzle with olive oil and wrap in foil. Roast for about an hour. Remove from the oven and allow the garlic to cool inside the foil. When cool, open the foil and squeeze the roasted garlic from each clove into a small bowl.

SOUR CREAM SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 °F.
• In a food processor, pulse flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt together. Add the cubed butter until a coarse meal forms. Pulse in the sour cream and egg yolk until just combined.
• Turn the sticky dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until the dough comes together into a ball. Gently pat the dough down into a 3/4-inch thick square shape. With a large knife cut the dough square into 4 smaller, equal squares. Then cut each smaller square diagonally, with an X, making 4 smaller triangles.
• Transfer the 16 triangles onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Brush the tops of each scone with heavy cream and sprinkle it with some coarse sugar. This will create a shiny and crunchy top for the scones. Bake in preheated oven for 12 to 14 minutes until the bottoms of the scones are light brown.
• Remove from oven, cool slightly on the sheet pan and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
