Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 0.75 cup Buttermilk
- 0.25 cup Orange marmalade
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Coarse sugar (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground ginger, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
In a small bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, orange marmalade, grated fresh ginger, and egg until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix with a spatula or wooden spoon until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a round disc approximately 1 inch thick.
Using a sharp knife or bench scraper, cut the disc into 8 equal wedges.
Transfer the wedges to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Sprinkle the tops of the scones with coarse sugar for a crisp, golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until the scones are lightly golden and cooked through.
Allow the scones to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.
