Step-by-Step Instructions for Ginger Scones
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices for 1-2 minutes.
  3. Incorporate cold butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs, approximately 3-5 minutes.
  4. Stir in fresh ginger into the flour mixture until evenly dispersed.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine cream and brown sugar until the sugar is fully dissolved.
  6. Gently mix the wet and dry ingredients until just combined.
  7. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and shape it into a thick, round disk about 1-inch thick.
  8. Cut the dough into wedges and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  9. Bake the ginger scones for 18-22 minutes or until lightly golden.
  10. Allow to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack.
