Heat the oven to 220°C/fan oven 200°C, 425°F/Gas 7. Lightly grease a baking sheet.
Mix together the flour and salt and rub in the butter until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
Stir in the sugar and stem ginger and then enough milk to get a soft dough.
Turn on to a floured work surface and knead very lightly.
Pat out to a round 2cm thick, there is no need to use a rolling pin. Use a 5cm cutter to stamp out rounds and place on a baking sheet. Lightly knead together the rest of the dough and stamp out more scones to use it all up.
Brush the tops of the scones with a little milk and a sprinkling of demerara sugar. Bake for 12-15 minutes until well risen and golden.
Tips Replace the stem ginger with walnuts, handful grated cheese or dried cranberries.

"Made some for the Parish Christmas Bring and Share Tea. All were scoffed before I got a chance to grab one. Made another batch for another event and kept a couple back. All were grabbed before I could get to the table once more, but this time I had my "reserve". Definitely the best ginger scones ever."

"Very easy to make, ingredients you would usually have in your store cupboard and they taste lovely. Will definitely be making these again."
