Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then whisk in the milk and melted butter until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the diced ham, shredded cheddar cheese, and sliced green onions until evenly distributed in the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the dish to cool slightly in the pan (about 10 minutes), then transfer it to a cutting board.
Cut the baked squares into 9 even pieces. Serve warm or at room temperature.
