Product Description

Subtle flavor, made with Australian crystallized ginger. Great with tea.
Makes 8-2ounce scones. It is made with enriched, unbleached, wheat
flour, *organic
crystallized cane juice*, ginger, baking powder, vanilla powder and salt.
These ginger scones are very moist and have small pieces of real candied
ginger in every bite. Iveta Gourmet is a family owned and operated business
that has been making award-winning, all natural baking mixes since 1999.
Our specialty is scone mixes, but we also make mouth-watering muffin,
biscuit and cupcake mixes.

humbly with your God?"
