Recipe Yield:

Instructions:
-
Prepare the Dry Mix: In a bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, baking powder, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, salt, baking soda, ground cloves, and nutmeg.
-
Blend in Shortening: Using a pastry blender or two knives, cut in the shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
-
Jar the Mix: Transfer the dry mix into a small jar. A single batch yields about 1 1/2 cups of dry mix, so choose a jar of appropriate size.
-
Prepare the Gift Tag: Create a tag listing the ingredients for the gingerbread scone mix and the wet mix ingredients. Optionally, decorate the back of the tag before tying it onto the jar.
-
Instructions for Use: On the tag, include the following instructions: Empty the contents of the jar into a medium bowl. In a separate bowl, combine milk, molasses, and beaten egg. Add the wet mix to the dry mix and stir until combined. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth. Roll the dough into a 6-inch circle and cut into 4 wedges. Place the wedges on an ungreased baking sheet, brush with lukewarm water, and sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired.
-
Bake: Preheat your oven to 400ยฐF (200ยฐC). Bake the scones for 10-12 minutes or until they are lightly browned on top.
-
Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the scones from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack to cool. Serve and enjoy!
