Method

Hide images
step 1
Add the milk (80 ml) to a jug, squeeze in the lemon juice (1/2) and leave to sit.
step 2
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour (250 g), baking powder (2 1/2 tsp), cinnamon (1 tsp) and ginger (1/2 tsp). Add the butter (115 g) and sugar (100 g), then rub in the butter with your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
step 4
Make a well in the centre, then add the milk mixture and grated carrots (100 g). Mix quickly to form a soft dough – it may look a little lumpy, but don’t overwork it.
step 5
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface, shape into a disk, about 2.5cm thick and cut into 8 triangles (you may need to re-roll the mixture to use up the excess).
step 6
Transfer the triangles to a lined baking tray, brush with beaten egg (1) and bake for 12–15 minutes, until golden.
step 7
While the scones bake, make the glaze: beat the soft cheese (100 g) until smooth, then sift in the icing sugar (100 g) and mix well. Add 1-2 tbsp of milk (2 tbsp) to create a drizzle-able consistency.
step 8
Once the scones are baked, allow to cool slightly, then drizzle with the glaze and serve.
