Directions
Fig and Ginger Scones, Fig and ginger jam or conserve is so delectable on a warm baked bread or scone, so why not bake the fruit and spices right into the dish? This is an Australian recipe adapted in my kitchen , While the final outcome of this recipe was delicious I did need to add 1/4 cup of Splenda to it and another 1/4 cup of liquid to get it moist enough to hold together for kneading I absolutely love the fig and ginger combo and the crystallized ginger was wonderful When I first saw this I thought that the figs and candied ginger would supply all of the sweetness needed but for myself I found that it needed a bit of extra help in that department They were baked at 425 for 12 mins and were perfect Golden, tender, moist and yummy
