Citrus Ginger Scones
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
-
Cut the butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
-
Stir in the grated ginger, orange zest, and lemon zest.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and egg. Pour the cream mixture into the flour mixture and stir until just combined.
-
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it a few times until it comes together. Pat the dough into a circle about 1 inch (5 cm) thick.
-
Use a sharp knife or a biscuit cutter to cut the dough into 8 wedges. Place the wedges onto the prepared baking sheet.
-
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown.
-
Allow the scones to cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes.
-
In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and enough orange juice to make a glaze. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled scones.
-
Serve and enjoy!
