Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

(if you do not have a food processor, you may be able to chop the ginger by hand or with a blender.)

Chop candied ginger in food processor until you have uniform "raisin" sized chunks. Cut in coconut oil, butter, flours, baking powder, salt, lemon rind, and sugars**** until you have a crumbly blend. Add beaten egg and pulse to combine.

Turn dough onto lightly floured surface and roll into ball. Flatten (to about 6 inch diameter/2 inch tall), cut into 6 pizza-style wedges.

Place wedges on baking sheet (use silpat if available). Optional: brush with milk or egg wash, sprinkle with more raw sugar.

Bake about 12 minutes. Test with knife. Serve warm (but cool enough to eat).

*Don't confuse good coconut oil with its bad cousin: hydrogenated coconut oil.

**I grind my own flour and use a blend of: hard red winter wheat, soft white wheat, oats, corn, and flax seeds.

***make your own dried lemon rind by grating or peeling the yellow rind (omit the white) from used lemons. Dry on your counter top for a few days. Use mortar and pestle to use to release extra flavor.

****Sugar options: 2 tbs in dough and 1 tsp for sprinkling or 3 tsp in dough. Feel free to increase or reduce to taste.
