Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 c flour
1//2 c sugar
4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
6 Tbsp crystallized ginger, finely minced
2 c whipping cream
2 Tbsp melted butter
2 Tbsp light brown sugar

Steps:

  • 1. Sift dry ingredients. Add minced ginger. Toss well.
  • 2. Whip cream to soft peaks. Fold half of the cream into the dry mix until incorporated. Fold in remaining cream just until mixed. Knead lightly until the dough just forms a ball.
  • 3. Divide dough in half. Press each half into a disc about 7-8" diameter on a buttered baking sheet or on parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with brown sugar, if desired.
  • 4. With a large knife, gently score each round into 8 pieces. Bake 20-25 minutes until golden. Remove to rack and cool at least 30 minutes before separating.
