    • 3 tablespoons white sugar
    • 2 teaspoons baking powder
    • 1 ½ teaspoons ground ginger
    • ½ teaspoon ground cardamom
    • ½ teaspoon baking soda
    • ½ teaspoon salt

  • Butter and Ginger

    • ½ cup unsalted butter, frozen
    • ½ cup finely chopped crystallized ginger

  • Wet Ingredients

    • 1 cup buttermilk
    • 🥚 1 large egg
    • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract

  • Egg Wash

    • 🥚 1 large egg

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2

Combine flour, white sugar, baking powder, ground ginger, cardamom, baking soda, and salt, then grate in frozen butter and toss until crumb-like texture forms. Stir in crystallized ginger.

3

Whisk buttermilk, 1 egg, and vanilla extract in a small bowl. Mix into the dry ingredients until no flour clumps remain, careful not to overmix.

4

Turn dough onto the prepared sheet, form a 7-inch circle, and divide into 8 triangles. Space triangles 1 inch apart.

5

Prepare egg wash by whisking 1 egg with water and applying to the tops of the triangles. Optionally sprinkle coarse sugar.

6

Bake scones for 20-25 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
