Step-by-Step Instructions
To kick off the recipe, I start by preheating my oven to 450°F (232°C). There’s just something special about that warm heat that gets my kitchen humming. Next, I gather my ingredients and combine the flour, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl. I like to whisk those together to ensure they’re blended well. That’s when I add the cheese and diced ham, mixing until they’re evenly distributed in the flour. This is the moment I can already smell the wonderful blend of cheesy goodness!
