• 2 teaspoons sugar
  
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
  
• 1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
  
• 3 tablespoons chilled butter, cut into small pieces
  
• 3/4 cup (3 ounces) shredded reduced-fat extra sharp cheddar cheese

Instructions

Combine flour, baking powder, 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.
