    Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
    2               cups  all-purpose flour
    2        tablespoons  granulated sugar
    1         tablespoon  baking powder
       1/2      teaspoon  kosher salt
    6        tablespoons  cold unsalted butter -- cut into small pieces
    1                cup  old-fashioned oats
       1/2           cup  dried cranberries
       1/4           cup  crystallized ginger -- finely chopped
    1              large  egg
    1         tablespoon  heavy cream

Heat oven to 425F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and 
salt. Add the butter and, using a pastry blender or two knives, cut 
it in until the mixture forms small crumbs. Add the oats, 
cranberries, and ginger and toss to combine. Make a well in the 
center of the mixture.

In a bowl, whisk together the egg and 1/2 cup heavy cream. Add to the 
flour mixture and, using a fork, gently stir until incorporated (do 
not overmix). Bring the dough together into a ball.

On a lightly floured surface, shape the dough into an 8- by 4" 
rectangle (about 1" thick). Cut into eight 2" rectangles, separate 
and transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Brush tops with the 
remaining tablespoon cream and sprinkle with additional oats, if 
desired. Bake until golden brown, 12 to 14 minutes.

Yields: 8 scones

Description:
    "The tart cranberries, hearty oats, and warm, spicy ginger in 
these scones are an unbeatable flavor combination."
