Ingredients
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons white sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon ground cardamom
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, frozen
- ½ cup finely chopped crystallized ginger
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 egg
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon water
- 3 tablespoons coarse sugar, or as needed (Optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Whisk flour, sugar, ginger, cardamom, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together until thoroughly combined. Grate in frozen butter using a box grater. Toss until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Mix in chopped ginger.
- Whisk buttermilk, egg, and vanilla extract together in a small bowl or measuring cup until thoroughly combined. Add to dry ingredients and mix just until no dry clumps of flour remain; dough will be somewhat sticky.
- Turn dough out onto the prepared baking sheet. Gently press dough together into an even 7-inch circle. Lightly flour your hands if dough is too sticky to shape. Cut dough into 8 triangles using a bench scraper. Space scones 1 inch apart on the baking sheet.
- Whisk egg and water until combined. Gently brush the top of each scone with the egg wash. Sprinkle with coarse sugar.
- Bake in the preheated oven until scones are lightly browned, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring scones to a wire rack to cool completely.

amazing and easy. Will be a favourite for sure.
Great scones! Easy and fluffy. I liked the method of adding butter by grating it into the flour. It made the butter distribution very even. Yum!
I used gluten-free 1:1 flour and they turned out so good. I will try this recipe again. It was like a visit to Starbucks.
