1. Preheat oven to 400‹F. Line a baking
sheet with parchment paper or spray with
vegetable cooking spray.

2. In a medium bowl, combine both flours,
salt, baking powder, and 3 Tbsp. of the
sugar. Stir together with a fork or an electric
mixer on low. Add ginger and lemon zest
and stir until well distributed. Add cubes
of butter. Mix using an electric mixer on
medium or a pastry blender until mixture
is the texture of rough cornmeal, with a few
small bits of butter throughout.

3. Add lemon juice and 1.2 cup of the buttermilk
and stir on low or with a wooden
spoon just until the mixture comes together
in a clump or ball. Divide dough into two
balls and flatten each into a disk. Place
disks on prepared baking sheet and flatten
further using your hands or a rolling pin
until each disk is about 6 inches across.
Cut each disk into 6 equal triangles. Move
triangles apart so theyfre not touching.

4. Brush the surface of each scone with 1.2
tsp. of the remaining buttermilk. Sprinkle the
surface of each with 1.4 tsp. of the remaining
sugar. Bake at 400‹F for 16 to 18 minutes, until
surface is pale gold. Remove and cool on a
wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
