Gluten-Free Lemon Ginger Scones
Ingredients:
- 3 Lemon Ginger tea bags
- 2 tbsp lemon zest
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp pink salt
- 1 cup monk fruit sweetener
- 2 cup cassava flour
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup Stem Ginger In Syrup
- 2 tbsp Syrp from Stem Ginger
- 1/8 cup Crystallized Candied Ginger
- 2 tsp fresh grated ginger
- 1 tsp powdered ginger
- 3/4 cup coconut oil
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 4 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 tbsp flax seed
- 3 tbsp boiling water
Directions:
First, preheat 350. Secondly, combine the ingredients from the tea bags, lemon zest, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cassava flour, and almond flour until thoroughly combined. Finely chop candied ginger. Combine candied ginger with freshly grated ginger. Add the candied ginger and fresh ginger into the flour mixture until well incorporated.
Next, combine coconut milk and lemon juice in a separate bowl. In a separate bowl combine the flaxseed and boiling water. Next, cut in the coconut oil into cassava flour mixture with a pastry cutter. Cut in coconut oil until there are grape size pieces throughout the dough. 
Finally, pour the flaxseed mixture into the coconut milk mixture. Next, mix in the flaxseed mixture with coconut milk. 
Once the dough is combined with the flour mixture dump onto a sheet of parchment paper. The dough will be slightly sticky (shaggy). Finally, gently smash the dough together and press down gently on the dough, until desired thickness cut into biscuits with a biscuit cutter.
Lastly, place biscuits onto a greased cookie sheet or baking stone. Next, place biscuits about an inch apart to give them a little room to expand.
Finally, gather the scraps and press them back into a disk. Next, cut out more biscuits. Continue re-gathering scraps, pressing into a disk, and cutting out biscuits until all the dough is a biscuit. Often there is only a small scrap left just press it into a circle shape and place it on a cooking sheet or baking stone.
Place cookie sheet in the middle of the oven and bake 30 -45 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack and cool 10 – 15 minutes.
Can be top with a teaspoon or two of lemon curd.
