    Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
    3               cups  all-purpose flour -- (400 g)
       3/4           cup  sugar -- (160 g)
    1           teaspoon  baking soda
       1/2      teaspoon  baking powder
       1/4      teaspoon  salt
       3/4           cup  candied ginger -- (chopped into 1/4" pcs or 
smaller) (3 1/2 oz or 110 g)
    1               Tbsp  lemon zest
    1               Tbsp  grated fresh ginger
       3/4           cup  buttermilk -- * (200 ml)
    10              Tbsp  unsalted butter -- melted, (5 oz, 140 g)
    1               Tbsp  coarse sugar -- for sprinkling on top (optional)

Preheat oven to 400F (or 200C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large bowl vigorously whisk together the flour, sugar, baking 
soda, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the candied ginger, lemon 
zest, and fresh ginger until evenly mixed.

Create a well in the center of the flour, pour in the melted butter 
and the buttermilk. Gently mix with a wooden spoon until the flour 
mixture is just moistened. Don't over-mix! The mixture should look very shaggy.

Divide the mixture into two balls, and flatten each onto a floured 
surface into a 1" thick, 6" wide circle. Slice each round into 6 
wedges. Transfer to the parchment paper-lined baking sheet, spacing 
at least an inch apart. Sprinkle with coarse sugar.

Bake at 400F (or 200C) for 18-20 minutes. Cool on a rack for 5 
minutes before eating.

To store, allow first to cool to room temperature, then seal in a freezer bag.
