Preparation:
Preheat oven to 375. Combine first 6 ingredients in a food processor or
bowl.
Add
butter and process until mixture resembles coarse meal. Combine next 4
ingredients
in a separate bowl. Mix thoroughly. Add liquid ingredients to flour mixture.
Very gently stir until dough is just moistened and begins to cling together.
Stir in chocolate and ginger. The less this dough is handled the better the
results will be. Drop dough
onto an ungreased baking sheet in 1/3 cup amounts. Leave at least 1 inch
between
scones. Bake 15-17 minutes or until scones are golden. Cool on wire rack at
least
5 minutes before removing from baking sheet. |
