Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 0.25 cups Crystallized ginger (finely chopped)
• 0.75 cups Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 large Egg (for egg wash)
• 1 tablespoon Heavy cream (for egg wash)
• 2 teaspoons Coarse sugar (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground ginger, salt, and granulated sugar.

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work it in until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Stir in the finely chopped crystallized ginger.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix the heavy cream and vanilla extract. Gradually pour this mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead once or twice to bring it together. Pat it into a 1-inch thick circle.

Step 7

Cut the dough into 8 equal wedges and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each piece.

Step 8

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and 1 tablespoon of heavy cream to make the egg wash. Brush the tops of the scones with the egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar, if desired.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown on top.

Step 10

Remove the scones from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature with butter, jam, or clotted cream.
