Directions

Prep 10 minCook 20 min
  1. 1

    Heat the oven to 400° and line a large baking sheet with parchment.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, whisk the flour, 3/4 cup sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Fold in the finely chopped candied ginger, lemon zest, and grated fresh ginger until evenly dispersed.

  3. 3

    Make a well in the center. Pour in the melted butter and buttermilk, then stir gently just until a shaggy dough forms; avoid overmixing.

  4. 4

    Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Divide into two pieces and pat each into a 6-inch round about 1 inch thick. Cut each round into 6 wedges, set on the prepared sheet with space between, and sprinkle tops with the coarse sugar.

  5. 5

    Bake until golden, 18–20 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes before serving.

  6. 6

    Cool completely for storage, then seal in an airtight container or bag. Freeze for longer storage.
