Time 36m

Yield 8 scones

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 1/4 cups unbleached pastry flour (I used unbleached all-purpose flour)
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon finely chopped lemon, zest of (about 1/2 lemon)
3/4 cup 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°.
  • 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.
  • (I used my$10 hand mixer, though, and it worked fine!) 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'm not sure what I did wrong, but my scones turned out flat and dense.

These scones were a bit too dense for my taste, but the flavor was good.

I'm not a huge fan of ginger, but these scones were surprisingly delicious. The glaze was a bit too sweet for me, but otherwise, they were perfect.

These are the best ginger scones I have ever eaten! They are so moist and flavorful. The glaze is the perfect finishing touch.
