How to Make Gingersnap Scones With Espresso Glaze

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, ginger, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  3. Cut in the cold margarine using a pastry blender or two knives until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and egg.
  5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead the dough 4 times.
  7. Pat the dough into a 10-inch circle on the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Using a sharp knife, cut the dough into 10 wedges, cutting almost all the way through but leaving the base intact.
  9. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown.
  10. While the scones are baking, prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the hot water and espresso granules until dissolved.
  11. Gradually whisk in the powdered sugar until smooth and pourable.
  12. Once the scones are baked, let them cool slightly on the baking sheet.
  13. Drizzle the espresso glaze generously over the warm scones.
  14. Let the glaze set for a few minutes.
  15. Top each scone with a walnut half and serve warm.
