Um-um good- gingerbread spice herbal tea...
My extra large gingerbread man and woman stand in an old picnic basket...
Gingerbread Scones from A Taste of Home
2 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ginger
1.2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup cold butter
1/3 cup molasses
1/4 cup milk
1 egg, separated
sugar
In a large bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, baking powder, ginger, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Cut in butter until mixture resembles course crumbs. In a small bowl, combine the molasses, milk, and egg yolk until smooth; stir into the flour mixture just until moistened. Turn onto a floured surface; knead gently 6-8 times. Pat into a 8 inch circle. Cut into 12 wedges and place 1 inch apart on a greased baking sheet*. Beat egg white until frothy; brush over scones. Sprinkle with sugar. Bake at 400 degrees for 12-15 minutes our until golden brown. Serve warm.
* I like a more petite scone. I divide the dough into two equal parts and form smaller circles about 5 inches in diameter. Then I cut the circle into 6 wedges. I bake these for about 11-12 minutes.

Oh Joan Sweetie...
Everything looks so Gingerbread Delicious. Your wreath is gorgeous, and I love the gingerbreadman star, now that is so unusual. Love it.
Those two extra large in the basket, oh my do they ever say "Happy". I love their little faces.
I missed that ginger head at Brenda's sales. I am going to have to check back with her on that one. I can't believe I didn't see it.
The scones, oh could I ever smell the scones. How wonderful they smell. Someone is in the kitchen, yes mam. Smells so good over here.
Thank you for the beautiful share this evening. I have so enjoyed reading. Have a wonderful Friday sweetie. Many hugs and much love, Sherry
(I too love gingerbread men, I have a little feather tree full of ginger goodness.)

Hello Joan,
the Gingerbread men makes a lovely decoration. The warm color is perfect for the wreath and all look so nice naturally and yummy also.

I love scones and I'm anxious to try your recipe. All your photos were lovely.
