Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons white sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground ginger
5 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
1 cup blackberries
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons turbinado sugar, or as needed

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and ginger together in a large bowl. Cut in butter with a pastry blender. Fold blackberries into the flour mixture gently. Add heavy cream and mix until batter just comes together, so berries don't get too mashed.
Form dough into 6 large scones. Sprinkle with turbinado sugar and place on a baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven until scones are browned on top, 15 to 20 minutes.
