Yummy!!!

I tried out a new recipe yesterday: Gingerbread Scones. I love scones and this was my second try at them. It's a wonderful fall smell! :)






Gingerbread Scones

• 2 cups all-purpose 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

Directions: In a large bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, baking powder, ginger, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a small bowl, 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-in. circle; cut into 12 wedges and place 1 in. 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. Yield: 1 dozen.

They were very good... especially with coffee. I got the recipe from Taste of Home... I love their recipe site and having my own "recipe box." (direct link to recipe here.) The picture above is theirs as well. I didn't think to take any of mine... and they are almost all gone now! :)
