About 10 scones

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease two baking sheets. In a large bowl, sift together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Stir in ginger. Beat cream to soft peaks, then fold it into dry mixture. Knead just until dough holds together. Pat it out into a 10-inch square. Using a 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter, cut out circles. Reroll and cut excess dough. Place a few inches apart on baking sheets.
2. In a small pan, melt butter. Brush top of each scone with butter, and sprinkle the brown sugar over top. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until slightly browned. Eat while still warm.
