Author Jacqueline

Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup plus 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped candied ginger see link above if you can't find in your grocery store
  • 2 cups confectioners’ sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat an oven to 350F.
  • In a large mixing bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, zest, candied ginger and salt.
  • Squeeze 2 T lemon juice into the cream, then stir into the dry ingredients until just combined.
  • Flour a surface and knead the dough a few times until it comes together.
  • Pat out the dough into an approximate 9" circle (about 1/2" thick). Cut into 8 wedges.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place each triangle approximately 1" apart.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 20-25, until pale golden on top. Leave on the sheet for 5 minutes after removing from oven, then remove to a rack to cool completely.
  • Mix the powdered sugar with the remaining lemon juice until smooth. Drizzle over the top of the cooled scones. Serve.
