Orange Ginger Scones

Alright. Scones don’t use yeast, but it’s still baking. I love to eat baked things for breakfast and scones are so easy to make!

Orange Ginger Scones

1 3/4 cups all purpose flour

2 1/4 baking powder

1 tablespoon sugar

1/2 tsp salt

1 stick butter (8 tbsp) cold

1 egg

1/4 milk

1/4 cup sour cream

2 tsp zest of orange

1/4 cup candied ginger chopped

Using a mixer, put the dry ingredients the bowl.

Chop up the cold butter in 1/2 inch pieces and mix until crumbly.

Take bowl out of mixer. Add in egg, beaten lightly, cold milk, sour cream and orange zest. Mix by wooden spoon.

Mix in candied ginger. I love the “Hello my name is” tags. I got the idea from Joy the Baker.

Roll or pat out to about 3/4 inch thick on a floured counter. If dough is sticky, add a little more flour but it should be soft and slightly tacky.

Cut into any shape you want! I did diamonds. pretty small too. About 2ish inches wide.

Bake at 450°F on parchment lined cookie sheet, for about 12 minutes or until golden brown.

Let cool a little and enjoy!
