Ginger Scones image

There is a bakery in Ballard, Washington that makes a ginger scone that I adore. I've wanted to replicate them for a long time. I finally found a recipe on Bon Appetit for Ginger Pecan Scones. I modified it to get the flavor I was after. I've only made them once but have already learned that the original recipe baking time...

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 c all purpose flour
2/3 c sugar
1 tsp ground ginger
1 Tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
12 Tbsp chilled butter cut into 1/2 inch cubes
1/2 c minced crystallized ginger
1 c buttermilk
1 tsp vanilla
1 Tbsp buttermilk
2 tsp crystal sugar
3 Tbsp minced crystallized ginger

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line two cookie sheets with parchment.
  • 2. Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, ginger and soda. Add the butter and use a pastry cutter or a fork to work it into the flour until a coarse meal forms. Stir in the 1/2 cup of crystallized ginger.
  • 3. Add 1 tsp of vanilla to 1 cup of buttermilk and add to the flour mixture stirring with a fork until dough comes together. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead a couple of times.
  • 4. Divide dough in half and form each into 4-6 inch in diameter disks. Larger for thinner scones and smaller for thicker scones. Brush each disk with buttermilk, sprinkle 1 teaspoon of crystal sugar over each and divide the 3 tablespoons of minced crystallized ginger in half and sprinkle half over each disk. Gently press the ginger in to adhere slightly.
  • 5. Cut each disk into 8 wedges and transfer to cookie sheets. Bake between 15-20 minutes until scones are lightly golden. Do not over bake as they will go from perfect to burned in a heartbeat.

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

These scones were okay. They were a bit dry and the ginger flavor was a bit too strong for my taste.
