Rich and Creamy Ginger Scones

Rose's Rich and Creamy Ginger Scones

are aptly named.

They are so delicate.

I used left over Irish butter

which is higher in fat

and thus were

extra creamy.

Her method of whipping

the cream and adding it

to the mix does make for an airy crumb.

Trader Joe's didn't have candied ginger

because it has lead in it.

Yikes!

I added left over golden raisins which

were soaking in rum

from a previous recipe of Rose's.

They go perfectly with the ginger.

I missed the instruction to make sure

they were a couple inches apart from each other.

Obviously mine were too close

but I cut them apart and they were fine.

I love Rose's method

for making these scones

and can see the flavors

easily being adapted.

They are truly spectacular.
