Categories     Bread     Quick Bread Recipes     Scone Recipes

Time 50m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons white sugar
1 ½ teaspoons ground ginger
½ teaspoon ground cardamom
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup unsalted butter, frozen
½ cup finely chopped crystallized ginger
1 cup buttermilk
1 egg
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
1 egg
1 teaspoon water
3 tablespoons coarse sugar, or as needed

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:

  • Make sure to chill the butter before using it. This will help the scones be more flaky.
  • Use fresh, grated ginger for the best flavor.
  • Do not overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the scones tough.
  • Roll out the dough to an even thickness to ensure that the scones bake evenly.
  • Brush the tops of the scones with milk before baking. This will help them brown and give them a nice glaze.
  • Serve the scones warm with your favorite jam or clotted cream.

These mini ginger scones are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are light and fluffy, with a zing of ginger that is sure to please everyone. Whether you are serving them for breakfast, brunch, or dessert, these scones are sure to be a hit.
