Ingredients
Scones:
-
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
Egg Wash:
-
1 egg
-
1 teaspoon water
-
3 tablespoons coarse sugar, or as needed (Optional)
Directions
-
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.
