Instructions
Gingerbread Scones
- Preheat oven to 400 F (200 C). Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, baking powder, spices, and salt.
- Chop chilled butter into small cubes. Cut butter into dry ingredients using a fork (or two!) or a pastry blender / cutter until mixture is distributed throughout, and mixture forms coarse crumbs - it'll resemble gravel.
- In a small bowl, whisk together ⅔ cup milk, molasses, and the egg.
- Add the wet mixture to the bowl of dry ingredients, stir JUST until combined - mixture will be a little sticky.
- Place dough onto a lightly floured work surface, sprinkling some flour on top. Gently knead for a few seconds, then gather dough up into a ball.
- Press down to a disk that’s an even 1" thickness, cut into 6 wedges.
- Transfer scones to the lined baking sheet, brush with the remaining milk.If you'd like, scatter coarse sugar over top of the unbaked scones.
- Bake for about 25 minutes or until golden brown.
Vanilla Glaze
- Whisk together the butter, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
- Add about half the powdered sugar, a little at a time.
- Once half of the powdered sugar is incorporated, add 1 tablespoon of water, whisking until smooth.
- Add remaining powdered sugar, whisking until smooth. You want it VERY thick, but you can add extra water if you need.
- Drizzle scones with glaze, and serve warm!
