Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh lemon zest and ginger.
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
- To make sure the scones are cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the scones are done. If not, bake them for a few minutes longer.
- Let the scones cool for at least 5 minutes before serving. This will help them to set and will make them easier to handle.
- Serve the scones warm with butter, jam, or lemon curd.
