From BH&G Holiday Cooking 1997 this recipe freezes well so you might consider making a double batch-one for now, one for later.

Time 40m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder

I'm not a huge fan of gingerbread, but these scones were still really good. They're moist and flavorful, with a nice crispy exterior.

These scones are a bit more work than your average scone, but they're worth it! They're so flavorful and delicious.

I love the addition of crystallized ginger in these scones. It gives them a unique and delicious flavor.

I didn't have any crystallized ginger, so I used ground ginger instead. The scones still turned out great!

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