HOLIDAY GINGERBREAD SCONES
A friend gave me this recipe for these wonderful gingerbread scones. I then made them for an English friend of mine, and she gave them a definite thumbs up. I've made them without the dried cherries and currants and cut them with biscuit cutters, and they were great also. Make sure you handle the dough lightly; don't overmix.

Tips:
- Use fresh, grated ginger for the best flavor.
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
- Be sure to chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the scones to rise and hold their shape.
- Bake the scones until they are just golden brown on top. Over-baking will make them dry.
- Serve the scones warm with butter, jam, or honey.
