Gingerbread Scones with Cinnamon Glaze

Gingerbread Scones with Cinnamon Glaze

Scone Ingredients:

2 cups flour (I used white whole wheat.)
1/4 c. brown sugar
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
2 tsp. ginger
1/4 c. cold butter
1/4 c. milk
1 Tbl. lemon juice
3 Tbl. water
3 Tbl. molassas (unsulphured)
1 tsp. vanilla

Scone Directions:

1. Mix the dry ingredients (flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger) in mixer bowl. You could also use a hand mixer for this.
2. Cut the butter into small pieces and add  them to the dry mix. Mix with the mixer on low until well combined. The mixture will be crumbly.
3. Add milk, lemon juice, water, molasses, and vanilla. Mix until combined into a dough.
4. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper (or spray it with cooking spray).
5. Flatten the dough onto the cookie sheet. It should make about a 12 inch circle.
6. Use a pizza cutter or knife to score it into 12 pieces.
7. Bake at 425° for 12 minutes or until barely browned.

Glaze Ingredients:

1 Tbs. melted butter
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1-2 Tbl. milk
1 c. powdered sugar

Combine all ingredients, and add milk as needed to make it as thick/thin as you like. Drizzle it over the slightly cooled scones.
