Mini Ginger Scones are a delicious and versatile treat that are perfect for any time of day. With a soft, delicately spiced interior, these scones are perfectly paired with honey and butter. Great for a quick breakfast, an afternoon snack, or even as a dessert, these small baked goods are a must-try. The candied ginger adds a delightful zing, making them more exciting than your average scone. The small size is perfect for those looking to cut down on portion sizes or for those who want to grab a quick, on-the-go breakfast.

Instructions

1.Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2.In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add cold butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3.Stir in chopped candied ginger, cinnamon, cardamom, and clove until well combined.
4.Gradually add the buttermilk to the dry mixture, stirring until the dough comes together.
5.Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead gently for about 1 minute.
6.Roll or pat out the dough to be about 1/2 inch thick and cut circles using a cookie cutter or the rim of a drinking glass.
7.Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
8.Serve hot with honey and butter!
