1 Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
2 Place butter in a glass or ceramic 8-inch square baking dish. Microwave for 1 minute. Stir butter; continue to cook in 20 second intervals until fully melted.
3 Whisk flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and cayenne together in a large bowl. Add ham and cheese and stir until coated in the flour mixture. Make a well in the center and pour in buttermilk. Mix until just combined.
4 Pour dough into the prepared dish with the melted butter (dough will be thick) and gently spread the dough to the edges.
5 Use a paring knife to cut the dough into 9 or 12 squares.
6 Bake in the preheated oven until browned on the top and around the edges, 22 to 24 minutes.
7 Let cool 5 minutes and drizzle the top with hot honey before serving.
