Tips:

  • Choose the Right Orange: For the best flavor, use navel or Valencia oranges. These oranges have a sweet and slightly tart flavor that pairs well with the ginger.
  • Zest the Orange Finely: To get the most flavor out of the orange, zest it finely. This will release the essential oils that give the scones their citrusy flavor.
  • Use Fresh Ginger: Fresh ginger has a more intense flavor than ground ginger, so it's best to use it in this recipe. Peel and grate the ginger before adding it to the scone batter.
  • Don't Overmix the Dough: Overmixing the dough will make the scones tough. Mix the ingredients just until they come together, then stop.
  • Chill the Dough Before Baking: Chilling the dough before baking helps the scones to rise evenly and prevents them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the Scones Until Golden Brown: The scones are done baking when they are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Conclusion:

Orange ginger scones are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They're perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a snack. With their bright citrus flavor and warm ginger spice, these scones are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
