Yield Yield: 8 scones

Number Of Ingredients 8

Special item: 3-inch round cutter
2 1/4 cups unbleached pastry flour or unbleached all-purpose flour
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon finely chopped lemon zest (about 1/2 lemon)
1 1/2 sticks (6 ounces) unsalted butter, cut into 1-inch cubes and frozen
4 1/2 ounces candied ginger, finely chopped into 1/4-inch pieces to equal 2/3 cup
3/4 cup heavy cream, plus extra for brushing the tops of the scones

Steps:

  • Adjust the oven rack to the middle position and preheat the oven to 400&Deg; F.
  • In the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade or in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the flour, sugar, and baking powder, and pulse or mix on low to incorporate. Add the lemon zest and butter, and pulse on and off, or mix on low, untl the mixture is pale yellow and the consistency of fine meal.
  • Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and stir in the ginger. Make a well in the center and pour in the cream. Using one hand, draw in the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  • Wash and dry your hands and dust them with flour. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and gently knead a few times to gather it into a ball. Roll or pat the dough into a circle about 3/4 inch thick. Cut out the circles, cutting as closely together as possible and keeping the trimmings intact.
  • Gather the scraps, pat and press the pieces back together, and cut out the remaining dough. Place the scones 1 inch apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Brush the tops with the remaining cream.
  • Bake for 12 to 16 minutes, until the surface cracks and they are slightly browned.

I made these scones for my family and they were a hit! Everyone loved the ginger flavor and the scones were so moist and fluffy. I will definitely be making these again soon.

These scones were easy to make and turned out great! I used a combination of all-purpose flour and whole wheat flour, and they were still light and fluffy. The ginger flavor was subtle but added a nice warmth to the scones. I will definitely be makin

These scones were a bit of a disappointment. The ginger flavor was too overpowering and the scones were dry and crumbly. I won't be making these again.

These scones were absolutely delicious! I made them for a brunch party and they were a huge hit. The ginger flavor was perfect, not too overpowering but still very present. The texture was also spot-on, crumbly on the outside and fluffy on the inside
