Ingredients

  • 2 cups flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup butter, chilled cut into pieces
  • 1/2 teaspoon ginger (or more for a more gingery taste)
  • 1/4 cup orange marmalade (chunky kind with bits of orange peel)
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • sugar

Method

  • Heat oven to 400°F.
  • Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and ginger together.
  • Add the egg, marmalade and mix.
  • Add in the butter and use a fork or pastry cutter to blend into mixture until it is crumbly.
  • Add milk slowly and mix until the dough comes together. Add more milk if needed. Dough should come together so that you can roll it out.
  • Place dough on a board and gently bring it together.
  • Divide into half.
  • Press down on each half until a circle is made. Repeat with the other half.
  • Using a knife, cut each cirle into 4 and place on parchment lined baking sheet.
  • Sprinkle a little sugar on each scone.
  • Bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown.
