  • Make sure the butter is cold and cut into small pieces to ensure a flaky texture.
  • Do not overmix the dough, as this can result in tough scones.
  • If you don't have fresh ginger, you can substitute with ground ginger, but the flavor won't be as intense.
  • Serve the scones with clotted cream and jam for a traditional English treat.

Storage and Serving

  • These scones are best served warm, straight from the oven.
  • If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
  • To reheat the scones, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for a few minutes until warmed through.
