Yield Makes 12 scones

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 cups all purpose flour
2/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 1/3 cups pecan halves, toasted, chopped
1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons chopped crystalized ginger (about 4 ounces)
1 cup plus 1 1/2 tablespoons buttermilk
1 1/2 teaspoons finely grated peeled fresh ginger
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°. Line large baking sheet with parchment. Whisk flour, 2/3 cup sugar, baking powder, ground ginger, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and baking soda in large bowl. Add butter; using fingertips, blend butter into flour until coarse meal forms. Toss in pecans and 1/2 cup crystallized ginger. Whisk 1 cup buttermilk, grated ginger, and vanilla in measuring cup. Form well in center of dry ingredients. Add buttermilk; stir with fork until moist clumps form. Transfer to lightly floured surface. Knead just until dough comes together; divide in half. Form each half into 6 1/2-inch disk. Cut each disk into 6 wedges. Transfer to sheet. Brush with 1 1/2 tablespoons buttermilk. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon sugar and 3 tablespoons crystallized ginger; press to adhere.
  • Bake scones until golden and toothpick inserted horizontally into center comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Cool scones on sheet on rack.

I was looking for a healthy scone recipe, and this one fit the bill. These scones are made with whole wheat flour and honey, so they're a bit healthier than traditional scones.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my scones came out really dry. I think I might have overmixed the dough.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my scones didn't turn out right. They were too dense and didn't have much flavor.

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