Servings: persons

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
4 ounces butter (cut into small pieces)
1 cup fresh cranberries
1/4 cup candied ginger (minced)
1/2 cup heavy cream
Egg Wash
1 egg
1 tablespoon water

1
Preheat oven to 425.
2
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
3
NOTE: If you don't own a food processor, make these scones as you would make biscuits!
4
In a food processor combine all of the dry ingredients, give a whirl to mix. With the food processor running, add pieces of butter, a couple at a time, and pulse until pea sized. Continue adding the butter until you use all of it.
5
Add the heavy cream. Pulse until the dough comes together.
6
Add the ginger and cranberries, and give a quick pulse.
7
Remove the dough from the food processor, and knead on a lightly floured counter top. Pat into a circle, about 3/4 inch thick. Cut into 8-10 triangles.
8
Place onto a baking sheet, with space between each one.
9
Make an egg wash with the egg and a tablespoon of water. Using a pastry brush, lightly brush the tops of the scones with the egg wash, and sprinkle a little sugar on each top.
10
Bake for 15 - 20 minutes, until the scones are golden brown on the tops. Remove from the oven. Let cool for 5 minutes.
