Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Whisk flour, sugar, ginger, cardamom, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together until thoroughly combined. Grate in frozen butter using a box grater. Toss until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Mix in chopped ginger.
- Whisk buttermilk, egg, and vanilla extract together in a small bowl or measuring cup until thoroughly combined. Add to dry ingredients and mix just until no dry clumps of flour remain; dough will be somewhat sticky.
- Turn dough out onto the prepared baking sheet. Gently press dough together into an even 7-inch circle. Lightly flour your hands if dough is too sticky to shape. Cut dough into 8 triangles using a bench scraper. Space scones 1 inch apart on the baking sheet.
- Whisk egg and water until combined. Gently brush the top of each scone with the egg wash. Sprinkle with coarse sugar.
- Bake in the preheated oven until scones are lightly browned, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring scones to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips:
- To ensure fluffy scones, use cold butter and buttermilk. Cold ingredients prevent the gluten in the flour from developing too much, resulting in a tender crumb.
- Do not overwork the dough. Overworking will make the scones tough. Gently mix the ingredients until just combined.
- For a crispy exterior, brush the tops of the scones with milk before baking. This will help them brown beautifully in the oven.
- If you don't have crystallized ginger, you can use minced or grated fresh ginger instead. Use about 1 tablespoon of minced ginger or 2 teaspoons of grated ginger.
- For a sweeter marmalade, use a higher sugar content marmalade. You can also add a bit of honey or agave syrup to the marmalade before using it.
- Feel free to experiment with different flavors of marmalade. Other citrus flavors, such as lemon or grapefruit, would also be delicious.
