Put a twist on your go-to scone recipe with this gingerbread version. In place of the usual fruit, it uses crystallised ginger, with a hint of mixed spice and warming ground ginger in the dough. Be careful not to overwork the dough when you’re bringing it together – this can prevent the scones from rising and make them tough. Marmalade makes a lovely accompaniment, cutting through the rich flavours, but you could equally serve with jam or simply plenty of butter.
