You Will Need (9 things)

  • 1 cup plus 1 Tbls. Flour
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder
  • ¼ tsp Baking Soda
  • ¼ tsp Salt
  • 3 tbsp very cold Butter
  • 5 tbsp Buttermilk
  • 2 tsp Vanilla
  • ½ cup finely grated Carrot(s)
  • 1 tbsp minced candied Ginger

Steps (7 steps, 40 minutes)

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 400 degrees.


  2. 2

    In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar and stir well to combine.

  3. 3

    Cut butter into the flour mixture until the mixture resembles very coarse sand. Add the buttermilk and vanilla, stir to combine.

  4. 4

    Add carrot and ginger and stir to distribute well.

  5. 5

    Roll the dough into a ball and then press gently into a disc about an inch thick. Place the disc of dough onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Cut the dough disk into six wedges.
    *You can also cut into rounds and press into shaped, greased tins.

  6. 6

    Separate the wedges so there is at least an inch between each of them. Brush the tops and sides with 1 tbsp buttermilk (total for all) and sprinkle generously with the coarse sugar.

  7. 7

    Bake 15-18 minutes, until lightly browned.
