List of Ingredients




2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1/3 cup sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon grated lemon peel

11 tablespoons chilled, unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons whipping cream

2/3 cup diced crystallized ginger


Recipe



1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly butter a baking sheet.

2. Blend flour, sugar, baking powder and lemon peel in a processor. Add butter and cut in using on/off turns until the mixture resembles coarse meal.

3. Transfer mixture to a large bowl and make a well in the center; add 3/4 cup cream. Using fork, stir until just moist. Mix in ginger.

4. Transfer dough to a floured surface and gently knead until smooth, about 8 turns. Divide in half; pat each portion into a 3/4-inch round. Cut each round into 6 wedges and transfer to prepared baking sheet, spacing 1-inch apart. Brush tops with remaining 2 tablespoons cream.

5. Bake scones until light brown, about 18 minutes.
