2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and ginger. Cut butter into a few chunks and rub it into the flour mixture with your fingertips.

LOved these little fellas..I made them as individual scones and got approx 13 out of the batch. I used self-raising flour so left out the baking powder and also added some cinnamon. I cut down the butter to about half as well which didn't seem to affect the result any. Thanks for posting!
