It is perfectly understandable that you will want to eat all of the scones you bake from this recipe yourself.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 inch piece of fresh ginger, grated
- 1 Tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- 10 Tablespoons butter, melted
- Parchment paper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Using a spoon mix together the grated ginger and sugar, really press the ginger into the sugar using the back of the spoon, this smells like heaven BTW.
- In a large bowl mix together the all purpose flour, wheat flour, sugar-ginger mixture, lemon zest, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Stir well.
- Create a little well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the melted butter and buttermilk. Stir until all the flour is moistened and it’s just coming together, you don’t want to over mix it.
- Flour your work surface and pour out the dough. Divide it into two sections, and gently pat out each one so that it’s flat and about an inch thick. Take a knife and cut each circle in half, and then into quarters.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the quarters on the paper with about an inch apart. Place on the middle rack in the oven and bake for 18 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack and enjoy! For leftovers, serve warm (microwave for 20-30 seconds).
