Gingerbread Scones

December 13, 2017 by Naomi Andres 4 Comments

Recipe #4 of Christmas baking is here! Fa la la la la la!!

I'm super excited to finally be sharing this recipe for Gingerbread Scones with all of you!

A few months ago I asked some friends if they had any ideas for what kind of recipes I should post on my blog this December.  One of my friends suggested Gingerbread Scones! So, I set to work trying to come up with a recipe for scones of the gingerbread variety.  And let me tell you, these scones gave me a little bit of trouble!!  First, they were soft and flavorful but they spread out too much.  Same thing the 2nd time.  3rd time I forgot to add the baking powder!! 😆  But finally the 4th time they were perfect!

They took a few tries to perfect! Just a few! 🤣

Here's a recap of all the scone recipes on my site in case you love them as much as I do:

I posted these Ham & Pineapple Scones in June. They were actually the very first recipe I posted on my blog!

These Mocha Frappe Scones came out next.

These delish Pumpkin Spice Scones were posted in October.

And today I bring you my Gingerbread Scones!

I really hope you make these scones this Christmas!

  • Cut the cold butter into the flour mixture with a pastry cutter until butter the pieces of butter are pea size.  Pour in the wet ingredient mixture and stir just until the mixture starts to come together.
  • Turn onto a floured counter and knead until the dough comes together into a ball.  Roll the dough out into a disk about 8 inches in diameter and ½-inches tall.  Cut into 8 scones using a pizza cutter (cut into ¼'s and then each ¼ in ½).

    I finally got the chance to bake these scones the other day, and they were a hit! Flavourful gingerbread spices melding with a soft scone texture created the perfect treat for a snowy January weekend! Thanks for overcoming the experimental difficulties to create this recipe; the final product is delicious! 😉
