Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Cut in butter with a pastry blender until the largest pieces are the size of a pea.
- Be careful not to let the butter get too warm or it will make a paste with the flour and ruin your scones.
- Chop ginger finely and stir into flour mixture.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and the cream.
- Add to dry mixture and stir just to moisten.
- Gather the dough and knead it against the sides of the bowl, pressing any loose pieces into the dough.
- Continue just until the dough comes together into a ball and cleans the sides of the bowl.
- Transfer to a lightly floured board and pat or roll into a circle about 1" thick.
- Cut into 8 wedges.
- Place wedges on a parchment covered baking sheet at least 1" apart.
- Bake at 425F for 12-15 minutes until the tops are just golden.
- Cool on a wire rack, or serve while still warm.
