A sprinkling of sugar tops off these tender treats with a touch of sweetness. I like to serve them hot with butter and jam.—Edna Hoffman, Hebron, Indiana

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
4 tablespoons sugar, divided
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
3/4 cup sour cream

In a large bowl, combine the flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, baking powder, ginger, salt and baking soda. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Whisk sour cream and egg; add to dry ingredients just until moistened. Stir in orange zest.
