Guest guest Posted June 8, 2006 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 This recipe is awesome. I found it in one of my omnivous cookbooks and thought it sounded good, but knew it would be even better with my addition of crystalized ginger to the scones... that really made them special. Enjoy! Orange Ginger Scones 2 cups all-purpose flour 4 Tbs. sugar, divided 2 tsp. baking powder 2 tsp. ground ginger 1/2 tsp. salt 1/4 tsp baking soda 1/2 cup cold butter 1 egg 3/4 cup sour cream 1 tsp. grated orange peel 1/4 cup small diced crystalized ginger In a bowl combine the flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, baking powder, ginger, salt and baking soda. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Combine the egg, sour cream, orange peel and crystalized ginger bits; add to crumb mixture and stir gently until soft dough forms. Turn onto floured surface; knead 5 to 6 times. Divide dough in half. Pat each portion into a 7 inch circle; cut each into six wedges. Separate wedges and place 1 inch apart on ungreased baking sheets. Sprinkle with remaining sugar. Bake at 400? for 10 to 12 minutes. Yield: 1 dozen ~ PT ~ Like tiny ripples that merge to form great waves, combined human intent is worth more than the sum of its parts. A single individual can initiate worldwide improvement by emitting conscious frequencies of love, beauty, goodness, and wisdom. A group of people focusing their energy on sending out light to the world can set the stage for positive global transformation. ~ Daily OM, Power In Numbers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
