First, I wanted to start by saying that these glazed lemon-ginger scones were really amazing and I had four of them right out of the oven, and the next morning, I ate more!
Ginger has always been my favorite ingredient. I always have some ginger in my kitchen. In Asian cooking, especially Chinese, ginger is indispensable and used in many stir-fry’s, stews and soups. According to the Chinese, ginger promises many medicinal benefits, for example: anti-inflammatory, blood circulation, digestion, and even cancer fighting benefits.
Anyway, the idea of having ginger in scones is very remote to me, until I saw this glazed lemon-ginger scones recipe on the Food & Wine magazine that uses candied ginger. I was intrigued by the idea and so I made these, with great success.
If you don’t like too much sugar on your scones, you can skip the glazed and they still taste great.

These look great and I’m planning on making them but….where’s the butter????? What is the fat element in this recipe that give scones that great flavor?
Rasa Malaysia
No butter in this recipe. The recipe uses heavy cream to combine the flour together.

What is ‘heavy cream”
Rasa Malaysia
Some regions can refer it as whipping cream.

These look delicious. Do you think it will be ok to substitute milk for heavy cream?
Thank you!

You can try using milk, but the result may not be the same. Heavy cream has higher fat content than milk.

For heavy cream substitute = 3/4 milk + 1/3 butter
