Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Bake in the preheated oven until scones are lightly browned, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring scones to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 3
Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, ginger, cardamom, baking soda, and salt together until thoroughly combined. Grate in frozen butter using a box grater. Toss until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Mix in chopped ginger.
Step 4
Whisk buttermilk, egg, and vanilla together in a small bowl or measuring cup until thoroughly combined. Add to dry ingredients, mixing until no dry clumps of flour remain. Do not overmix; dough will be somewhat sticky.
Step 5
Turn dough out onto the prepared baking sheet. Gently press dough together into an even 7-inch circle. Lightly flour your fingers if dough is too sticky to shape. Cut dough into 8 triangles using a bench scraper. Space scones 1 inch apart on the baking sheet.
Step 6
For egg wash, whisk egg and water until combined. Gently brush tops of scones with mixture. Sprinkle with coarse sugar.
