Servings: 7 scones
Equipment
- parchment paper
- food processor optional
- ice cream scoop
Ingredients
- 2½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup white sugar
- ⅓ cup dark brown sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp baking soda
- ¾ tsp salt
- 2 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp ground nutmeg
- ¼ tsp ground cloves
- 8 Tbsp cold unsalted butter, diced
- ½ cup heavy cream or half-and-half, cold (plus a little for brushing)
- ¼ cup molasses
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla
Instructions
- Heat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
- Whisk flour, sugars, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices. I do this in my food processor.
- Add the butter and pulse about 20 times until it is finely cut in.
- In a small bowl, whisk cream, molasses, egg, and vanilla. Add to the dry ingredients and pulse/process until the dough comes together in a rough lump.
- If you use a food processor, transfer the dough to a bowl. Scoop out 7 scones with an ice cream scoop and arrange on your parchment lined baking sheet, 2-3 inches apart.
- Bake 18–22 minutes until set and nicely bronzed. Cool before glazing.
glaze
- Blend the sugar with enough milk to create a thick but dippable glaze. Stir in vanilla extrtact.
- Dunk each cooled scone headfirst into the glaze. Set on a rack to set.
