Cream Scones With Crystallized Ginger
- 2 cups All Purpose Flour, Sifted
- 1/3 cups White Sugar
- 1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
- 1/2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Powdered Ginger
- 1 cup Heavy Cream
- 1/2 cups Crystalized Ginger
- 2 Tablespoons Heavy Cream
- 1 teaspoon Powdered Ginger
- 1 Tablespoon White Sugar
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- Dice up crystallized ginger.
- In a large bowl, combine all the dry ingredients. Make sure diced ginger is not clumped together.
- Add the heavy cream.
- Mix with a spatula until the dough becomes a very sticky ball. The cream should be incorporated into the dough.
- Remove dough from bowl and form into an 8 to 9 inch disk. It should be 3/4 to 1 inch thick. It will be very sticky to work with so you might want to flour your hands beforehand.
- Brush the disk lightly with additional cream.
- Combine extra ginger powder and sugar. Sprinkle the mixture over the disk.
- Bake for about 10 minutes and remove to score the disk into individual scones. Cut to the bottom, but the disk will not fully separate at this point. Score 6-8 scones into the disk.
- Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until golden brown on top. Remove from oven and allow the scones to cool. Then break the disk along the scoring.
- Serve warm.
