Method
 

Making Ginger Scones
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and dry spices.
  3. Cut cold unsalted butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Fold in the chopped crystalized ginger until evenly distributed.
  5. Mix heavy cream and brown sugar in a small bowl until dissolved, then pour into dry ingredients.
  6. Transfer dough to a floured surface, fold gently, and shape into a circle about 1 inch thick.
  7. Cut the dough into 8 wedges and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Brush tops with egg wash and sprinkle coarse sugar over each scone.
  9. Bake for 18-22 minutes until golden and firm when pressed.
  10. Cool on a wire rack before serving.
