Lemon Ginger Scones
Not too sweet, these scones are a
perfect match for a steamy cup of tea
in the morning.
Makes 8 scones
2½ cups cake flour, plus more
for shaping
2
tablespoons granulated sugar
1½
teaspoons baking powder
¼
teaspoon baking soda
1
teaspoon kosher salt
Grated zest of 1 lemon
(about 1 tablespoon)
6
tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into
½-inch cubes, room temperature
(for about 5 to 10 minutes, be sure
the butter is not too soft)
1
cup buttermilk
1
large egg
¼
cup chopped, candied ginger
Egg wash (1 large egg plus
1 teaspoon water, whisked well)
Turbinado sugar, for sprinkling
1. Put the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking
soda, salt, and zest in a large mixing bowl.
Mix the dry ingredients on Speed 1 to fully
combine. Reserve.
2. Put the buttermilk and egg in a small bowl.
Mix on Speed 1 to combine. Add the butter
to the dry ingredients and mix on Speed 3
until mixture is shaggy. Reduce the speed
to 1. With the mixer running, slowly add
the liquid ingredients, and then the ginger,
until just combined; do not over-mix.
3. Pour the mixture onto a clean counter/large
cutting board. Form the dough into a
10-inch cylinder. Using a sharp knife, cut
into 8 even rounds. Place on a parchment-
lined baking sheet. Cover lightly and
transfer to a refrigerator to chill for a
minimum of 1 hour, or up to overnight.
4. Once chilled, preheat oven to 400°F with
the rack in the middle position. Brush each
scone with egg wash and sprinkle with the
turbinado sugar.
5. Bake in preheated oven for about 25 to 30
minutes, or until golden brown. Allow to
cool before serving.
