Gingersnap Scones with Espresso Glaze
Talk about a double hit: coffee in your cup, coffee in your scones.
How to Make It
Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°.
Step 2
Combine the first 6 ingredients in a bowl; cut in margarine with a pastry blender or 2 knives until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add buttermilk and egg, stirring just until moist (dough will be sticky).
Step 3
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface; with floured hands, knead lightly 4 times. Pat dough into a 10-inch circle on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Cut dough into 10 wedges, cutting into, but not through, dough. Bake at 400° for 15 minutes or until golden.
Step 4
Combine hot water and coffee granules in a medium bowl; stir well. Add powdered sugar; stir well. Drizzle over scones. Cut into 10 wedges; top each with 1 walnut half.

Really bland. I should have just eaten the gingersnaps. I couldn't taste them in the scone at all.

Wow. Having never made scones before, I subbed only 1/2 a cup of flour with whole wheat, worried that it would be too dense. Then, everything is in the oven, and I look at the recipe and realized that I used only 1/4 of a cup of milk!!! I was so upset! I considered taking it out and kneading in an extra 1/4 cup, but decided to just see what happened.
They were delicious anyway. Amazing. I know they'd be just superb if they had risen completely. I only used 2/3 of a cup of sugar in the glaze, and that was fine. Could have even used less, since I thought the glaze was super sweet and I don't think you need so much of it.
I also added a lot of extra baking spices (cinnamon, extra ginger, nutmeg, allspice), since I enjoy my food a little more spicy.

Made this recipe exactly as written, with gingersnaps made from a recipe from cooking light. They turned out excellently. Mosit nice crumb, balanced flavors, sweet and spicy and glaze topped it off nicely! WILL MAKE OFTEN!
