these scones were so yummy we ate them while they were still a little warm,
they have ground ginger, stem ginger in syrup and candied ginger in them,
i added some cinnamon and nutmeg too to give them a seasonal flavour and made some cranberry curd to have with them.
i glazed them with a little syrup from the jar of stem ginger and mixed it with some icing sugar and added some chopped candied ginger on top.
