GEM SCONES

GEM SCONES image

When I was a kid, my mother made gem scones all the time. You had to use special cast iron "gem irons". these are a bit hard to get these days so the 1/2 round tins work quite well. maybe not quite as dainty a scone as the original but the taste is still there. as long as the tins are hot, the mixture rises up instead of overflowing the holes.

GEM SCONES

Gem Scones image

This recipe I found in my ancient Commonsense Cookery Book. My mum used to make these, not sure what recipe she used but I do have her old gem irons. I wasn't sure how these would work without gem irons, which are cast iron and about the size of mini muffin pans but with round shapes, but looking at an Australian website with very oldtime recipes, it mentioned using patty pans in one of their gem scone recipes. I haven't made these but I remember my mum's being as light as feather and melt in your mouth perfect.

Time 50m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons white sugar
1 ½ teaspoons ground ginger
½ teaspoon ground cardamom
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup unsalted butter, frozen
½ cup finely chopped crystallized ginger
1 cup buttermilk
1 egg
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
1 egg
1 teaspoon water
3 tablespoons coarse sugar, or as needed

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Whisk flour, sugar, ginger, cardamom, baking powder, 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.
Whisk buttermilk, egg, and vanilla extract together in a small bowl or measuring cup until thoroughly combined. Add to dry ingredients and mix just until no dry clumps of flour remain; dough will be somewhat sticky.
Turn dough out onto the prepared baking sheet. Gently press dough together into an even 7-inch circle. Lightly flour your hands 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.
Whisk egg and water until combined. Gently brush the top of each scone with the egg wash. Sprinkle with coarse sugar.
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.
