  • 1/4 cup eggs (approximately 1 large egg)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius).

  2. Prepare Baking Sheet: Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray, ensuring that the scones won’t stick during baking.

  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

  4. Incorporate Butter: Using a pastry blender or fork, cut in the butter and margarine until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  5. Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat together the eggs, milk, and 1/2 tablespoon of instant coffee.

  6. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just blended. Be careful not to overmix, as it can result in tough dough.

  7. Add Hazelnuts: Stir in the hazelnuts until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

  8. Knead Dough: On a lightly floured surface, gently knead the dough 5-6 times. Avoid excessive kneading, as it can toughen the dough.

  9. Shape Scones: Divide the dough into three equal parts, then further divide each part into fourths. Pat each portion into a patty or roll and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

  10. Bake: Bake the scones in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until they turn light golden brown.

  11. Cool: Once baked, remove the scones from the baking sheet and allow them to cool on a wire rack.

  12. Prepare Glaze: In a small bowl, mix 1/2 tablespoon of instant coffee with 1 tablespoon of water. Add the powdered sugar and stir until well blended. Adjust the consistency by adding more water or powdered sugar as needed.

  13. Drizzle Glaze: Drizzle the prepared glaze over the cooled scones using a spoon, ensuring each scone is generously coated.

  14. Serve: Serve these delicious Coffee-Nut Scones with your favorite hot beverage or enjoy them on their own as a delightful treat.
