Gingerbread is a flavor that works with all sorts of delicious holiday baked goods. To glaze these ginger scones, just dip a fork or spoon into the glaze mixture and then drizzle over the tops. —Colleen Delawder, Herndon, Virginia

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
2-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1-1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons cold butter
3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
1 large egg, room temperature
1/4 cup molasses
1 tablespoon maple syrup
GLAZE:
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dash salt
1/4 cup finely chopped crystallized ginger

Directions

Preheat oven to 400°. In a large bowl, whisk the first 6 ingredients. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In another bowl, whisk cream, egg, molasses and syrup until blended; stir into crumb mixture just until moistened.
Drop dough by 1/4 cupfuls into a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, 12-15 minutes. In a small bowl, combine confectioners’ sugar, cream, vanilla and salt; stir until smooth. Drizzle over scones; sprinkle with ginger. Serve warm.
