| 1¾ | cup | Flour |
| 2 | teaspoons | Double-acting baking powder |
| ½ | teaspoon | Baking soda |
| 1 | teaspoon | Salt |
| ½ | cup | Cold unsalted butter; cut into bits |

Directions
Into a bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add the butter and blend the mixture until it resembles meal. Stir in the ginger puree and juice, the brown sugar and the walnuts. Add the milk and stir until it just forms a soft sticky dough.
