Yield Makes 12 scones

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 cups all purpose flour
2/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 1/3 cups pecan halves, toasted, chopped
1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons chopped crystalized ginger (about 4 ounces)
1 cup plus 1 1/2 tablespoons buttermilk
1 1/2 teaspoons finely grated peeled fresh ginger
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°. Line large baking sheet with parchment. Whisk flour, 2/3 cup sugar, baking powder, ground ginger, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and baking soda in large bowl. Add butter; using fingertips, blend butter into flour until coarse meal forms. Toss in pecans and 1/2 cup crystallized ginger. Whisk 1 cup buttermilk, grated ginger, and vanilla in measuring cup. Form well in center of dry ingredients. Add buttermilk; stir with fork until moist clumps form. Transfer to lightly floured surface. Knead just until dough comes together; divide in half. Form each half into 6 1/2-inch disk. Cut each disk into 6 wedges. Transfer to sheet. Brush with 1 1/2 tablespoons buttermilk. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon sugar and 3 tablespoons crystallized ginger; press to adhere.
  • Bake scones until golden and toothpick inserted horizontally into center comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Cool scones on sheet on rack.

These scones were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I've tried many ginger pecan scone recipes and this one is by far the best. The scones are light and fluffy, with the perfect amount of ginger and pecans. I'll definitely be making these again and again.

These were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll try adding a little more butter next time.
