Tips:
- Use real butter, not margarine or shortening. Butter imparts a richer flavor than its substitutes.
- Grate your own crystallized ginger. Pre-grated ginger is often blander and less flavorful.
- Don't overwork the dough. Overworking will make the scones tough.
- Use a food processor to quickly and easily combine the dry ingredients.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the scones rise more evenly.
- Bake the scones until they are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Serve the scones warm with your favorite spread, such as butter, jam, or cream cheese.
Conclusion:
These holiday gingerbread scones are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for enjoying during the holiday season. They are easy to make and can be customized with your favorite holiday spices. Whether you serve them for breakfast, brunch, or dessert, these scones are sure to be a hit.
