sugar, salt, and pepper in a large bowl; cut in butter
with a pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles
coarse meal. Stir in cheese and ham.
Combine buttermilk and egg whites, stirring with a whisk.
Add to flour mixture, stirring just until moist.

lightly 4 to 5 times with floured hands. Pat dough into

Cut dough into 8 wedges, cutting into but not through dough.
Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes or until lightly browned.
