Gingerbread Scones

Gingerbread Scones
8 servings

2 cups flour
3 tablespoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup cold butter
1/3 cup molasses
1/4 cup milk
1 egg, separated
sugar

Combine flour, brown sugar, baking powder, ginger, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs; set aside. Combine the molasses, milk and egg yolk until smooth; stir into the flour mixture just until moistened. Turn the dough onto a floured surface; knead gently 6-8 times. Pat into an 8 inch circle; cut into 8 wedges and place 1 inch apart on a greased baking sheet. Beat egg white until frothy; brush over scones. Sprinkle with sugar. Bake at 400° for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pan to wire rack. Serve warm and enjoy!


This was my 100th baking post!

We gave these as Christmas gifts this year and my grandfather was disappointed that he did not get more. Thank you Kerri for sharing this on Facebook.

Thanks so much for sharing this. My husband (and kids) love our special "gingy cookies" and my husband also likes scones, so this looks like a wonderful combination for me to try.

I made these scones and wrote about them here. Mine really spread out, but other than that the only negative thing I can say was that they didn't make more!

Mrs. H. said...

Definitely the warm butter Mrs. Blocko. I responded more on your post. :-)

Very good but not nearly enough liquid. I ended up adding about 1/2 cup of milk to make the dough stick together. Could it be because I live in the mountains (about 4000 ft)?

Made these as is and then added a drizzle of powdered sugar glaze with a little almond extract in it. They were delicious. First time making scones. I love scones, didn't realize they were fairly simple to make. Made these because I had all the ingredients. My family was impressed!

Hello! I love scones and gingerbread, and I can't wait to try these! But in the country I live in we don't have molasses, can it be replaced by honey?

Helen, if you can't get molasses, try black treacle. They're very close in taste, and I substitute it whenever I can get it from Canada. Hope this helps!
