Ginger beer scones are light and fluffy scones that bake in a Dutch oven. These scones get their distinct ginger taste from the ginger beer.
The trick to making scones is to not work the dough too much. Handle the flour and liquid mixture as lightly as possible, only mixing the dough until the flour is incorporated.
These golden brown, fluffy scones are a real treat for your fellow campers. Top with a bit of jam and cream.
