Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
-
Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, vanilla extract, and ground ginger.
-
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
-
Gently fold in the chopped pecans.
-
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it a few times until it comes together.
-
Pat the dough into a circle about 1 inch thick. Cut the circle into 8 wedges.
-
Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
-
Allow the scones to cool slightly before serving.
