How to Make Ginger Date Scones
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in 1 cup buttermilk until a soft dough forms. Gently fold in 1 cup chopped dates and 2 tablespoons ground ginger.
- Using a ⅓ cup measuring cup, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch between each scone.
- Sprinkle generously with extra granulated sugar (about 2 tablespoons).
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown. Immediately remove from baking sheet to cool slightly.
- Serve warm with your favorite beverage. Enjoy!
