Candied Ginger Scones
The scone is a classic pastry of English tea time, and we have now prepared it in a special candied ginger version. Ginger adds warmth and a slightly spicy taste to the pastry, while the candied ginger remains delicately sweet and soft in texture. TIP: If you want an even more intense flavor, you can add a little grated fresh ginger to the dough. Do not overwork the dough, because the scone should remain light and soft! This scone is the perfect choice with a cup of lemon tea, or even as an afternoon treat.

Preparation Steps
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, salt, and ground ginger.
3
Cut the cold butter into small cubes and rub it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
4
Chop the candied ginger into small pieces and add it to the flour mixture.
5
In a separate bowl, whisk together the honey, milk, and egg.
6
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix; the dough should be soft.
7
On a lightly floured surface, pat the dough to about ¾ inch (2 cm) thickness. Cut into triangles or rounds using a cookie cutter.
8
Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown.
9
Let cool for a few minutes before serving warm, spread with a little honey or butter.
