A sprinkling of sugar tops off these tender treats with a touch of sweetness. I like to serve them hot with butter and jam.—Edna Hoffman, Hebron, Indiana
Ingredients:
2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
4 tablespoons sugar, divided
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
3/4 cup sour cream
1 egg
1-1/2 teaspoons grated orange peel
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, baking powder, ginger, salt and baking soda. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Whisk sour cream and egg; add to dry ingredients just until moistened. Stir in orange peel.
2. Turn onto a floured surface; knead 8-10 times. Divide dough in half. Pat each portion into a 7-in. circle; cut each into six wedges.
3. Separate wedges and place 1 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Sprinkle with remaining sugar. Bake at 400° for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned. Serve warm. Yield: 1 dozen.
