Ginger Scones

• 8oz self-raising flour
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• ¼ teaspoo

Sift the dry ingredients. Rub in the lard until fine. Add beaten egg, combined with the syrup and milk, to the dry ingredients. Mix to a soft dough. Turn dough on to a floured board and knead very lightly. Divide into two; shape each piece into a round and roll gently to about six inches in diameter. Cut into half and each half into three, making six small triangular scones of each round. Bake
