Cream of Tartar, Powder, 3.52 oz (99 g), From Frontier Natural Products

Ginger-peanut scones

These tender scones taste best on the day they are made. For a more pronounced ginger-peanut flavor, add some finely minced crystallized ginger and chopped roasted peanuts to the dough.

Ingredients

2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour

1/2 cup sugar

2 teaspoons cream of tartar

1 teaspoon baking soda

3/4 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground ginger

1/2 cup peanut butter

1/4 cup nonhydrogenated margarine

1/4 cup plus 2 teaspoons milk or soy milk

1 egg or blended egg substitute for 1 egg

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Lightly grease and flour a baking sheet.

In a bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cream of tartar, baking soda, salt, and ginger. Using a pastry blender, cut in the peanut butter and margarine until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

In a separate bowl, combine the milk and egg and mix until smooth. Stir into the flour mixture until just blended. Do not overwork.

Divide the dough in half and transfer to a floured surface. Using a rolling pin, flatten each piece of dough to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut the dough into 3-inch triangles and place on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 12 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool slightly. Serve warm.
