Directions

1 Heat oven to 400°F. Lightly grease cookie sheet.
2 Mix flour, 1/4 cup sugar and the baking powder in large bowl. Cut in butter, using pastry blender or crisscrossing 2 knives, until mixture looks like fine crumbs. Stir in buttermilk and gingerroot until dough leaves side of bowl and forms a ball.
3 Divide dough in half. Place half of dough on cookie sheet; pat or roll into 7-inch circle. Spread lemon curd over dough to within 1/2 inch of edge. Pat or roll remaining dough into 7-inch circle; gently place over lemon curd. Gently pinch edge to seal. Sprinkle with sugar. Cut surface of dough into 8 wedges, making cuts 1/4 inch deep (do not cut into lemon curd).
4 Bake 18 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Cool 5 minutes on cookie sheet. Remove from cookie sheet to serving platter or dish; cut into wedges. Serve warm.

EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Handling the dough gently and not overmixing it will keep scones tender.

Lemon curd can be found next to the jams and jellies at your grocery store.

No buttermilk on hand? Pour 1 tablespoon white vinegar into a glass measuring cup, then fill with milk to the 2/3-cup line. Stir, then wait a few minutes for it to thicken slightly.

This is a wonderful recipe. However, I've found that all the recipes that state "do not seperate" or "do not cut through" bake the same way as this one. They do not bake all the way through. They need to be cut and seperated to bake properly. This recipe will work better if you cut 16 wedges and put the curd between 2 wedges and seal. Or, if you don't mind the curd bubbling out, cut the wedges after filling and seperate.

This sounded great to us - lots of things we love, scones, ginger, lemon. But it didn''t work out right. The middle didn''t seem to cook through, even tho the outside was. And I even made it a little larger & thinner than suggested. I didn''t have lemon curd, and used lemon pie filling, so maybe thats why, but I don''t think so. It was ok, but we were disappointed.

I totally agree with the other review. All things we loved, so it sounded perfect. But didn''t cook thru the middle well. A real disappointment for the trouble.
