1 dozen (1/2 cup peach sauce)

Ingredients

SAUCE:

1/2 cup peach preserves

1 tablespoon horseradish

1 teaspoon wasabi powder

1/2 teaspoon ground mustard

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

SCONES:

4 cups all-purpose flour

4 teaspoons baking powder

2 teaspoons salt

2 cups finely chopped fully cooked ham

2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

2 cups heavy whipping cream

TOPPING:

1 large egg

1 tablespoon water

1 tablespoon poppy seeds

For sauce, combine all ingredients. Refrigerate until serving. Preheat oven to 375°.
For scones, in a large bowl, whisk flour, baking powder and salt. Add ham and cheese; toss to combine. Stir in whipping cream just until moistened.
Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead gently 10 times. Pat dough into two 7-in. circles. Cut each into six wedges. Place wedges on a greased baking sheet.
For topping, whisk egg with water; brush over scones. Sprinkle with poppy seeds. Bake 40-45 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm with peach sauce.
