A delicious and traditional gingerbread scone recipe

Ingredients

Units Scale

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 teaspoon ginger

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

1/2 teaspoon cloves

6 tablespoons salted butter, very cold and cut into cubes

3/4 cup whole milk

1/4 cup unsulphured molasses

Ingredients for glaze:

 

1 cup powdered sugar

2 ounces cream cheese, room temperature

1–2 tablespoons whole milk

Pinch of cinnamon

Holly sprinkles for decorating (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
  3. Add the flour, baking powder, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves to a large mixing bowl and whisk to combine.
  4. Add the cold butter chunks to the mixing bowl and mix with your hands, ensuring the butter is thoroughly worked into the dry ingredients and the entire mixture is moistened.
  5. Create a small well in the center of the dry ingredients/butter mixture, pour the milk and molasses into the well, and mix with your hands until fully combined. The dough will be very sticky.
  6. Turn the dough out onto the prepared baking sheet and form it into a thick disk shape.
  7. Cut the dough disk carefully into 6 equal triangles using a sharp knife dipped in flour.
  8. Bake the scones for 15-16 minutes until lightly golden brown.
  9. Add the powdered sugar, cream cheese, pinch of cinnamon, and one tablespoon of milk to a mixing bowl and mix with an electric mixer until smooth. Add the additional tablespoon of milk if the glaze is too thick.
  10. Drizzle the glaze over the scones and top with a few holly sprinkles.
  11. Serve warm. Store any leftover scones in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days or in the freezer for up to three months.
