Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups Gold Medal® all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/3 cup firm butter or margarine
2/3 cup buttermilk
1 tablespoon grated gingerroot
1/2 cup lemon curd
Coarse or granulated sugar, if desired

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400°F. Lightly grease cookie sheet.
  • Mix flour, 1/4 cup sugar and the baking powder in large bowl. Cut in butter, using pastry blender or crisscrossing 2 knives, until mixture looks like fine crumbs. Stir in buttermilk and gingerroot until dough leaves side of bowl and forms a ball.
  • Divide dough in half. Place half of dough on cookie sheet; pat or roll into 7-inch circle. Spread lemon curd over dough to within 1/2 inch of edge. Pat or roll remaining dough into 7-inch circle; gently place over lemon curd. Gently pinch edge to seal. Sprinkle with sugar. Cut surface of dough into 8 wedges, making cuts 1/4 inch deep (do not cut into lemon curd).
  • Bake 18 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Cool 5 minutes on cookie sheet. Remove from cookie sheet to serving platter or dish; cut into wedges. Serve warm.
