This is a very bland scone. I added a little more milk and extra brown sugar but there's not much taste to them.

Good scones, I added a little kick by doubling the ginger, cinnamon and brown sugar.

I am really enjoying these! I have never had a gingerbread scone before, but thought they would be the perfect way to warm up the house on this snowy day. I added a tablespoon of ground flax seeds just to 'health it up' a little, and sprinkled them with cinnamon sugar. Thanks for the great recipe!

The scones are fairly good. I love the spicy flavor which goes great with a cup of coffee in the morning. However, the milk needs to be increased to 1/2 cup. Also, I'd double the amount of sugar as they weren't sweet enough for my taste. To compensate, I added a sprinkling of pearlized decorator sugar on top after brushing them with the egg white. Lastly, these scones are better with less handling. Next time, I'll knead only 3-4 times; otherwise, they're too chewy. :-)

I also used 1/2 butter and 1/2 shortening. these were really good. Will make again this coming weekend. did have to add a little milk to make the dough moist enough to combine.

I followed the recipe exact, only because I read through the reviews before making these, I added an extra generous splash of milk to the wet ingredients because I was concerned about the dough being too dry. I did egg wash my scones and then sprinkled them with a cinnamon/coarse sugar mix. I thought these were fantastic as did my two boys and husband. Quite simple and very tasty. I think these would be great with a simple vanilla glaze in place of the sugar on the top, too. Next time I make these (and I will make these again), I'll add a little nutmeg. YUM.

Delicious! I used a whole egg for the scone, instead of using the white for the wash, and substituted canola oil for butter. I also threw in some grated candied ginger and chopped dried apples. This was moist and delicious.

I don't know what went wrong--these came out of my oven tasting like hockey pucks. I have made a lot of different scone recipes over the years, so I was eager to try a gingerbread flavor. These were very flat, not crumbly, and lacked in flavor. (I will admit that I added a little extra cinnamon, a bit of anise, and a pinch of cloves to make it more spicy.) If you make these, eat them warm with a ton of molasses or something else with a strong flavor to make up for the lack of flavor. When they cool they become hard as rocks.
