Description
Delicious Christmas spice scones with warm flavors of cinnamon and ginger, perfect for the holiday season.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ginger
- 1/4 cup cold butter
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup molasses
- 1/2 cup soured milk
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
- Put your flour in the bowl then whisk in all your spices.
- Using a pastry blender, cut in the butter.
- Time for the egg. Crack it into a bowl, whip it up and then add your molasses.
- Add in your sour milk, which can be soured by using a bit of vinegar in it.
- Add your wet ingredients to your dry and combine until the dough forms a ball.
- Turn out the ball onto a lightly floured surface.
- Separate into two balls of dough IF you are making traditional scones.
- Flatten the dough into 6 inch circles, and mark where you want your scones to be, I find they each make 6 perfectly. Cut into triangles.
- To make Christmas shapes, roll out the entire ball of dough until it is around 1 inch thick. Cut out your Christmas shapes just like you would cookies! Re-roll the dough and keep using until you have cut all the shapes that you can. Use Christmas cherries for garnish.
- Place on a well greased baking sheet.
- Bake in a 375 degree oven until browned and baked, around 20 minutes.
- Remove, cool and sprinkle with powdered (icing) sugar if desired.
Notes
- These scones are best served warm.
- Consider adding nuts or dried fruits for extra flavor.
- Adjust spices to your taste for a more festive flavor.
