Unless the Holy Ghost blesses the Word, we who preach the gospel are of all men most miserable, for we have attempted a task that is impossible. We have entered on a sphere where nothing but the supernatural will ever avail. If the Holy Spirit does not renew the hearts of our hearers, we cannot do it. If the Holy Ghost does not regenerate them, we cannot. If He does not send the truth home into their souls, we might as well speak into the ear of a corpse.

C.H. Spurgeon

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Position racks in the top third and center of the oven and preheat to
400    F.
2. Sift cake and all-purpose flours, cream of tartar, baking soda, salt,
and pepper into a medium bowl.
3. Using a pastry blender or 2 knives, cut butter into flour until mixture
resembles coarse meal. Stir in prosciutto and cheese.
4. Add buttermilk and stir until dough is moistened and begins to hold
together. Using floured hands, knead briefly in the bowl just to form a
soft dough. (Light handling is the secret to tender scones.)
5. Turn dough out onto a lighlty floured work surface. Pat out to 1/2 inch
thickness. Using a 2 1/2-inch round or heart shaped biscuit cutter, cut out
scones and place 1 inch apart on ungreased baking sheets. Brush tops of
scones lightly with additional buttermilk.
6. Bake until well risen and golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Halfway
through baking, change positions of baking sheets from top to bottom. Serve
warm or at room temperature, with softened butter for spreading, if
desired.
