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.
ReplyDeleteI love the Heritage Schoolhouse!

ReplyDeleteGod Bless,

I just made them. DELICIOUS!! I added a drizzle of powdered sugar glaze and they were gone in 10 minutes!!
ReplyDeleteThanks 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.
ReplyDeleteFantastic recipe, I added chopped candied ginger. Thanks, I will use this again!
ReplyDeleteThey are in my oven now and coffee is brewing. Anticipation!!!!
ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely the warm butter Mrs. Blocko. I responded more on your post. :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for a new gingerbread recipe for me to try! They look yummy!
ReplyDeleteVery 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)?
ReplyDeleteMade 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!
ReplyDeleteHello! 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?
ReplyDeleteBelén xx
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!
