For those of you who follow me on my home blog, you may have already seen this recipe. I found it years ago in a Better Homes and Gardens magazine. I make these every December. They are yummy for breakfast, snacks, or dessert.
In a large mixing bowl combine:
2 cups flour
3 T brown sugar
2 tsp Baking powder
1 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
Add and cut into flour mix using a pastry cutter:
1/4 cup cold butter
Mix in a small bowl:
1 egg yolk
1/3 cup molasses or honey (I've tried both. Honey gives a lighter taste. Molasses gives a stronger flavor)
1/4 cup milk (1 cup water, 3 T powder milk)
Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture. Combine with a fork. The mixture may seem dry. Knead on floured counter about 5 times. Pat into a 7 inch circle. Cut 8 wedges. Arrange on ungreased sheet 1 inch apart. Bake at 400 for 12-15 minutes.
Serve with whipping cream:
1 pint heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla
beat the above for about 4 minutes on high
