Fig and Ginger Scones image

Fig and ginger jam or conserve is so delectable on a warm baked bread or scone, so why not bake the fruit and spices right into the dish? This is an Australian recipe adapted in my kitchen.

Categories     Scones

Time 15m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
2/3 cup whole wheat flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 pinch salt
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 tablespoon finely minced crystallized ginger (optional)
2 tablespoons butter, chilled and finely diced
160 g dried figs, very finely chopped or sliced
4 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons skim milk

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 230 Celsius.
  • Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and ground ginger together and place in a large bowl.
  • Rub in the butter with your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add the crystallized ginger and figs then add the combined milk and water and mix gently but thoroughly until the dough comes together.
  • Turn out the dough, adding a little flour if the dough is sticky. Knead very briefly until the dough is manageable - do not overmix.
  • Flatten the dough to about 1 inch thickness then use a 2 to 2 1/4 cutter to cut out rounds.
  • Place the cut rounds on a non-stick baking sheet then gather up any remaining scraps and knead briefly. Cut as many more rounds as possible then place these on the sheet.
  • Brush the scones with a little milk then bake for 10-12 minutes until golden.
  • Serve with butter, marmalade or jam.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my scones didn't rise. They were still tasty, but they were a bit dense.

I'm not a big fan of ginger, but I loved these scones. The ginger flavor was subtle and not overpowering.

I loved the idea of these scones, but I found them to be a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my scones turned out dry. I'm not sure what I did wrong.
