Crystallized Ginger Scones

Judy Rodgers, executive chef and co-owner of Zuni Café in San Francisco, gave her basic scone

recipe to Chuck Williams a few years ago. We've added our own crystallized ginger.


3 cups all-purpose flour

1/3 cup sugar

5 tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. salt

16 Tbs. (2 sticks) chilled unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

1/2 cup chopped crystallized ginger

1 egg

1/2 cup milk



Position a rack in the center of an oven and preheat to 350ºF. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment

paper.



In a large bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Add the butter and, using a

pastry blender or 2 knives, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles pea-size

crumbs. Add the ginger and toss to mix.



In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk until blended and add to the dry ingredients.

Using a fork, stir to form large, moist clumps of dough.



Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and press together with your hands until the dough

comes together. Roll out the dough, flouring as needed, into a 10-inch round about 3/4 inch thick.

Cut into 12 equal-size wedges and place on the prepared baking sheets about 1 inch apart. Bake

until the scones are golden, 30 to 35 minutes. Makes 12 scones.
