Ingredients
- 11/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 2 tsp finely grated lemon zest
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 11/2 cup heavy cream
- 3/8 cup 1/4 cup plus 2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- finely chopped candied ginger
- 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 375° and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a bowl, whisk the flour with the granulated sugar, baking powder, lemon zest and salt. Using a wooden spoon, stir in the cream and 2 tablespoons of the lemon juice; fold in the candied ginger.
2. On a lightly floured work surface, gently knead the dough just until it comes together. Pat into a 9-inch round, a scant 1/2 inch thick. Cut the dough into 8 wedges and arrange them 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheet. Bake the scones for 20 to 25 minutes, until slightly firm and lightly browned on the bottom, pale on top. Let cool for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk the confectioners’ sugar with the remaining 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons of lemon juice until the glaze is smooth. Drizzle the lemon glaze over the scones and let stand for 15 minutes before serving.
